The news that vulture funds are avoiding paying tax because of loopholes in the law is very annoying to people who are struggling to make ends meet and pay their taxes on time.

Deputy Stephen Donnelly, who raised this matter over the weekend says that the Government are losing between one and two billion in taxes per year as a result of this practice. Even more worrying is the fact that the Government was not aware that this was going on”
\n“It is quite unbelievable that the Government are facilitating the avoidance of tax by these vulture funds who at the moment are not breaking tax law.

If needs be let’s recall the Dail to pass urgent legislation to close this loophole if that’s whats required. But this farcical situation cannot be allowed to continue.
