Charlie Haughey's son-in-law has been hit with a 1.4 million euro bill for unpaid taxes.
John Mulhern, racehorse trainer and retired boss of the Meadow Court Stud, The Curragh, Kildare,
was one of the top five biggest settlements on the latest defaulters' list.
Married to the late Taoiseach's daughter Eimear, chairman of bloodstock giant Goffs, Mr Mulhern
was hit with the bill for underpaying income tax and capital gains tax.

National Assets Management Agency (NAMA) board members have received a hike in salary -- despite being less than three months in the job.
Finance Minister Brian Lenihan yesterday confirmed he had approved a new fee structure for the nine-strong board in light of their increased workload.
The board's chair, former Revenue Commissioner boss Frank Daly, will receive €170,000, a 70pc increase on his original pay packet of €100,000. And the team of ordinary members will receive an annual fee of €50,000, rather than the €38,000 first proposed.

I appeal to the Irish taxi Council to consider my plan of action:
1 Organize 200 drivers prepared to camp in their cars for as long as it takes.
2 Take over Kildare Street-from end to end.
3 hire a PR outfit to get proper media coverage.
4 Appeal to all disgruntled citizens from whatever spectrum of society (victims of Fianna Fail) to come and join the “park in” on foot or bicycle and stand with their brother workers.
5 Remain outside Dail Eireann until all reforms are publicly agree to-or until Fianna Fail are forced from office.
A strike at the airports could take place in conjunction.
Causing traffic jams infuriates the public you need on your side.
Close Kildare Street-keep it closed-appeal to the public for a mass demonstration.

..and all the other sh*t and waste of taxpayers money that goes on in the Fianna Fail government.
"Findings in relation to the disastrous Irish Glass Bottle site deal in 2006 are thought to be the biggest potential political hand grenade in the reports.
The DDDA's taking of a 26pc stake in the property was endorsed by Taoiseach Brian Cowen, who was then Finance Minister, and the then environment minister, Dick Roche.
The €412m purchase was carried out in conjunction with developer Bernard McNamara and businessman Derek Quinlan and was primarily funded with a €293m loan from Anglo Irish Bankand AIB.
The site is now worth just €50m. That former board members Sean FitzPatrick and Lar Bradshaw helped approve the DDDA's involvement while their bank was part-funding the deal has raised many questions".
