    Not that Duffy would ever be bothered with the facts, but anyone carrying out systemic Fraud should be prepared for a lengthy Prison Sentence from now on, if convicted
    A ruling last month by the Court of Criminal Appeal in the case of a man jailed for 12 years for social welfare fraud, gave future sentencing guidelines that “significant and systematic frauds directed upon the public revenue . . . should generally meet with an immediate and appreciable custodial sentence”

    People will complain when light sentences are handed out.

    People will complain when strict sentences are handed out.

    And you are missing the point,it has nothing to do with the money,its supposed to act as a deterrent.

    Maybe it will after this.

    As a deterrent for who? Punishing a dole cheat does not deter other dole cheats.

    It has everything to do with the money. You don't punish someone for defrauding the taxpayer by asking the taxpayer to stump up more to punish the defrauder. You punish the defrauder by hitting them where its hurts them most... in their pocket!

    Why is Duffy comparing garlic smuggling to the manslaughter case?

    Surely he should be criticising the Judicial System, or is that a step too far.

    (like to hear that from Duffer !)

    Well, I suspect anyone else currently importing Garlic but labelling it as Apples would be seriously considering their options right now.

    If you want Chinese Garlic, specifically,
    Then the current caller must be prepared to pay the anti dumping tariff

    Pay the tariff and you can have your Chinese garlic

    Why is this even being debated?

    Joe , you idiot, he may not have been smuggling Heroin but he was undermining Spanish and French farm labourers

    Joe only pretends to care about the little man, providing the little man is from Ballyer ( excluding his brother of course)

    He was smuggling it Joe.

    Now he's getting sniffy with the only sensible caller on air..... what a rabble rousing idiot.

    According to Joe's logic, the sellers of illegal cigarettes are in the clear now - they're nor pocketing the tax.

    Duffy's attitude to Cigarettes

    - Legal sellers who pay duty are a disgrace for advertising Cigarettes

    - Steet vendors who pay no duty are salt of the earth types who do no harm.

    He is a pure hypocrite.

    This isn't the first case of tax evasion in Ireland and it didn't deter Paul Begley. Don't be fooled that putting one guys head on a spike will have that effect on others because it hasn't before.

    That isn't even my issue with this. Its the fact that I'm going to be paying for his stint in jail.
