Daniel O'Connell was refused leave to appeal by the Supreme Court on 14 May 2019 over his surrender to the United Kingdom for VAT evasion offences.

The application concerned a High Court order surrendering him to serve the remaining part of a seven-year sentence imposed for failing to pay a confiscation order.

That sentence followed his conviction for five offences of knowingly being concerned in fraudulent evasion of VAT.
