Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

This matter is being tackled and dealt with by the Revenue Commissioners.

There would be a plausible case to make that the law needs to be changed if the Revenue Commissioners were losing the appeals or losing their case in the Circuit Court, but they are not. The law and the way the Revenue Commissioners are acting are being upheld by the recent rulings in the way that I have described to the Deputy. Since 2014, a number of taxpayers have settled their cases with the Revenue Commissioners in the particular area that Deputy Healy referred to. The yield to the Revenue Commissioners from those cases in tax, interest and penalties was €11.8 million. If at any point I am advised by the Revenue Commissioner on this or on any other matter that further legislation or a change in legislation is needed, of course I will consider it and bring it to the Oireachtas at the first possible opportunity. As the Deputy acknowledged himself in his question to me, the stance of the Revenue Commissioners has actually been upheld by each of the hearings the Deputy referred to.
