Three Dragons refuse to reveal details of tax paid

The three Dragon’s Den businessmen bidding to become Ireland’s next president have refused to reveal how much or little tax they have paid in the past seven years — despite insisting on full presidential financial transparency.

Peter Casey, Gavin Duffy and Sean Gallagher all declined to release the information to the Irish Examiner after a week of requests, with Mr Casey hitting out at how Ireland has become “obsessed” with money.
