Tax-evading priest slams Revenue

Senior church officials in the diocese of Cloyne are to meet later this morning after a priest in the diocese reportedly branded Revenue Officials 'the biggest showers of bastards on the planet'.

The comments were carried in an article in today's Irish Star. Fr Tadhg O'Donovan is curate in the parish of Whitechurch and a convicted tax evader.

Fr O'Donovan is said to have made the comments to the newspaper after yesterday's publication of his name on a list 76 tax defaulters.

It showed that he had made a settlement of €433,475 with the Revenue Commissioners.

In March 2008, Fr O'Donovan was fined €6,000 at Cork District Court on ten charges relating to his tax affairs - after agreeing a separate €213,000 settlement with the Revenue Commissioners.

A diocesan spokesman, Fr Will Bermingham, said he had read the content of the article in today's Irish Daily Star to the administrator of the Diocese of Cloyne, the Archbishop of Cashel and Emily, Dr Dermot Clifford, earlier this morning.

Dr Clifford, he said, is taking it extremely seriously.

The Archbishop, together with Fr Bermingham, and two other senior church officials, including a canon solicitor, are due to meet at 11am.

A statement is expected to be issued later this afternoon.

Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's. He should know better, being a man of the cloth.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
