    I wonder if it was a banker who had stroked 1.5 million would all these good people be on here saying how terrible it was that he got 6 years.

    He should have got more.

    Got more? Seriously?

    He should be made pay back what he owes but instead he is going to jail where he will cost the taxpayer a few hundred thousand more for his stay. That is just retarded....

    Paul Begley had been convicted of scamming the tax system.

    This should not be broadcast

    There has to be a deterrent to chancing your arm until you're caught.

    That is the attitude to Tax and Company law in this country.

    If you catch me, I'll pay it back and everything will be alright.

    It is all wrong and anyone who commits Tax Fraud deserves their punishment.

    He should declare if he knows this Paul Begley. He doesn't sound at all objective on the case.

    But Joe, the bankers Joe! If its not them, its the social welfare stealing all our garlic!

    You're in the industry and are into your EU conspiracy theories and you don't know the reason why there's such a high tax ? Protectionism for the EU producers.

    As sentence has been passed that cannot be said. The Minister for Justice
    isn't going to repeal the sentence after all.

    This is the most unjust and ridiculous sentence ever handed down by our "justice" system..

    I think it is actually more morally wrong that Mary Hanafin, Bertie Ahern, Mary Coughlan etc all take pensions of >120K from the State that they helped destroy...

    How many bankers have been jailed? They've cost the tax payers tens of billions, not a million. I'm not saying he shouldn't be punished, but there seems to be something off about the justice system in relation to this case.
