It is critical that there is compliance with Revenue, if compliance and a standard is set for the public. Payment of all is one of the most important issues to be assured. We are talking about over €400,000 that accumulated in the bar. As we know, VAT is a transaction tax. To amass that type of money over the years suggests there was a significant level of turnover. As a transaction tax, the risk that it was misstated in the absence of accounts for these years is significant. I do not understand why this has not been done. I am very frustrated when I hear the responses to this.
