Mr. John McKeon:
There is no liability on the individual directors. If it is a limited company, the liability is with the business. We work with Revenue and we raise issues in court cases about whether directors should be barred from holding future directorships and so on but in practice, the debt is owed by the limited company and not by the shareholder. I understand the point but it is the same for Revenue or for any creditor.
