Frank Daly, Ireland’s chairman of the revenue commissioners, signed off yesterday, as the country’s the most successful taxman, recording a staggering €363bn (₤278bn) for its coffers during his time at the top.
Daly boasts a distinguished career over more than four decades of a widely varying career, from tracking down smugglers as a young customs officer to clamping down on tax evaders and offshore account holders, The Irish Independent reports.
Daly said on leaving he was pleased there was a greater understanding of the value of people ‘paying their share’. In his 12 years on the board of the Revenue, the organisation collected in a massive €363bn in net receipts.
‘I'm very proud to have served the Revenue for 44 years and delighted to have had the privilege of leading this remarkable organisation for the last six years,’ he said.
