Paudge Connolly (Cavan-Monaghan, Independent)

Does the Minister agree that when reputable companies put a product on sale, the ordinary consumer will think the product is all right? In most cases, a consumer will not think he or she is avoiding tax because his or her agent states that this is how the system works, this is how one invests money and if one wishes, this is how one avoids being caught. It sounds as though these companies will get off scot free, whereas the Revenue should have tackled them 20 years ago.
