It's his bankrupted company rather than himself which owes tax. A company is considered a seperate legal entity in Company Law. Alas, since a Company doesn't represent any constituency in Dail Eireann, (not least when it no longer exists), it's very difficult to suspend it for not paying taxes which its Director wasn't liable for - before he became he a public representative (PR)! Dead men pay no debts. Dead companies fewer still. (Some Deputies survived greater controversies down through the years.) He had committed to take his 18 years old son to see World Cup games in Poland. Since it is advisable to take the beam out of ones own eye before taking the speck out of ones brohters, a qustion is: How many PRs bought Beverly Flynn's Australian owed National Irish Banks' (NIBs) off- shore investment products to avoid/evade(?) paying Irish tax?
