    No idea who it referred to, or why it disappeared, but my first thoughts would be of a person who likes dags.

    Wink wink.

    One of our friends from an ethnic minority.

    Generally items are only removed if they have details that leave the paper open to a civil case. Perhaps they stated something they couldn't fully prove.

    How if the story says he won his case? The Irish Times were the only ones to write about it.

    I had no idea that lovers of Dags would happily move to Malta. How could they move their cars and homes there without paying a shipper a fortune.

    No why would it be there, since the person is not a Maltese citizen.

    All i can get from google
    An Irish businessman based in Malta has successfully challenged a tax demand for almost €1 million from the Criminal Assets Bureau (Cab). ... The commission ruled as a consequence that earnings from his international tarmacking business were not liable for tax in Ireland.

    His “accountant” never asked him to keep any “receipts” as he knew he lived in a small caravan that had little storage

    Man that’s cheered me up
