Revenue is treating RTÉ as a sacred cow because it is allowing RTÉ that flexibility. RTÉ is talking about 600 or perhaps 400 cases where RTÉ does not know. Revenue closed down a company in my town yesterday, it froze all its bank accounts for a much lower sum of money than that. That is how Revenue deals with people. It is very aggressive but there is a special relationship here because it is the national broadcaster.
