Slab Murphy to stand trial on tax offences next year
Summary
The Special Criminal Court in Dublin has set 6 October 2015 as the trial date for Thomas "Slab" Murphy, a 64‑year‑old republican from Ballybinaby, Hackballscross, Co Louth, on tax offences. The case stems from a Criminal Assets Bureau investigation. Nine charges allege that Murphy failed to file income, profit or gain returns for 1996/97 to 2004 with the Collector General or Inspector of Taxes. Prosecuting counsel applied for the date; Murphy's counsel sought further instructions following a Supreme Court ruling and requested a remand. Murphy remains on continuing bail until the trial.
