From the article:
The Revenue told the High Court that Paul Howard was deliberately in default on his taxes and was due “no reduction for co-operation” once the Revenue began to investigate his affairs.
Mr Howard, and his partner, Una McClean, of Larkfield Avenue, Harold’s Cross, Dublin, built up a property portfolio in mostly north inner city Dublin during the boom years, were involved in property development in Turkey and ran a launderette, Clean City, on Talbot Street.
The investigation into Mr Howard’s affairs began in 2009 when an email was sent to the Revenue’s “Good Citizen” evasion reporting system, leading to the discovery that the couple kept huge amounts of cash at home rather than lodging it to bank accounts.The decision against Mr Howard by the Tax Appeals Commission in August 2021 noted he had an estimated gross income of €2.38 million during the 12 years to 2014, but had declared an income of €409,725.
Mr Howard had a tax judgment of €1.2 million confirmed against him and interest of €1.1 million, while Ms McClean had a tax judgment of more than €300,000 made against her, and interest of almost €300,000.

I hope revenue audit them every year
Clean City is a bit of a cliche
He looks like a nice man
