Irish car dealer freed for giving information
A car dealer jailed last week for contempt of court orders arising from a judgment obtained by the Revenue over €10 million in unpaid taxes has been freed after promising to provide information on his assets to the Revenue.
After John Kane, also known as Alex Kane, gave the undertaking yesterday, his brother Pauraig, who also faced jail, gave a similar promise.
The court accepted the undertakings and expressions of remorse from the brothers, who operate SUV dealerships in Country Longford, but warned them their “cross-border car racket” was at an end and any further breach of the court’s orders would lead to considerably longer jail periods.
