Mick Wallace on behalf of MJ Wallace LTD knowingly and willingly made a false VAT declaration to Revenue. The company withheld VAT on apartment sales over a two-year period and Mick Wallace decided at the time that MJ Wallace LTD would not pay this VAT to Revenue. Instead he used some of this money to increase salaries for himself (EUR147k to 290k) his son and his fellow director.
Mick Wallace believes that none of this money will be paid to Revenue as his company is insolvent. The irony of it all is that Mick Wallace (a property developer no less!) is now being paid by the very hand which he knowingly defaulted upon. Not to mention the pension that he is currently accumulating.
The position is clear - anyone who is a director of a company and has its name published on the Revenue's tax defaulters list should not be permitted to hold public office.
Tax defaulters or anyone who had/has direct involvement with a company which defaulted in any way should not be permitted to be a TD. Therefore, Mick Wallace is not fit to sit in the Dáil. We the people call on Mick Wallace to resign.
I would also request that Taoiseach Enda Kenny should bring legislation before the Dáil to allow government to withhold salaries and pension for situations such as this.
If we as a nation want to change, examples need to be set and the necessary tools and changes need to be implemented within our legislation to allow to change.
