These people are caught for whatever amount but the interest doubles or triples it. How does Revenue assess the interest owing, which is sometimes very severe? I am talking about people who have no problem paying back when they are...

Bobby Aylward: Why was there an increase of 4% in corporation tax receipts between 2014 and 2015? Was it because all the publicity around corporation tax led to more companies registering and paying up properly?
