I am advised by Revenue that the person in question has a poor tax compliance history over recent years and did not engage in meaningful discussions to resolve his outstanding liability despite being afforded a number of opportunities to do so. Due to the lack of engagement, I am advised that Revenue was left with no alternative but to refer the case to the Sheriff for collection.  

Notwithstanding the above, the Sheriff has very recently informed Revenue that the person has entered into a phased payment agreement and on that basis further debt recovery activity has ceased.
