James Daly was jailed for two years at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, as reported on 29 January 2020, after pleading guilty to tax offences. He delivered an incorrect income tax return in 2005 and failed to deliver returns in 2006, 2007 and 2008.

Daly had previously worked as a tax inspector before becoming a tax consultant and financial adviser. Judge Melanie Greally said his professional experience meant ignorance or incompetence could not excuse the offending, which involved multiple offences over several years.
