"The Relationship Has Broken Down": Leslie Buckley & INM / Is Distance Tax A Good Idea?

The relationship between former Independent News and Media chairman Leslie Buckley and his erstwhile employers has turned very sour indeed, as revealed by an exchange of letters between solicitors acting for Buckley and INM. Mark Paul talks us through the story on today's podcast. He also looks at the news that Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe is considering axing the 9% VAT rate for hotels and guesthouses. But first, Peter Hamilton has a roundup of this week's other stories including more eccentric behaviour from Elon Musk, what Donald Trump's warning means for any Irish companies doing business in Iran and Ryanair's worsening strike headache. And later we host a quick debate between Conor Pope and Michael McAleer on the subject of a proposed "distance driven" tax on motorists to replace the traditional motor tax. Is it fair/right/effective? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
