The list published in Iris Oifigiúil, is in two parts:

Part 1 deals with persons in whose case the Court has determined a penalty relating to a settlement, or has imposed a fine, imprisonment or another penalty in respect of a tax or duty offence.

Part 2 is that of persons in whose case Revenue has accepted a settlement offer instead of initiating court proceedings or a settlement has been paid in full.

The list reflects the amount of a settlement that remained unpaid at the end of the September 30, 2018 period.
