Gardai checked out the allegations after calls from the Limerick Leader who received a number of complaints on the matter -ironically from publicans who are paying their taxes. Each September publicans have to renew their licences in court. I understand that a number of local publicans did not get such a cert last year and are said to be operating illegally. We operate on a 43 per cent profit margin. That mean that on each pint sold we give about 1.20 on VAT and other taxes.
People give post date cheques.
It seems there has been a blind eye thrown.
