Sir, - I have to admire Mitchell, Rabbitte & Co for their efficient fight against the Irish fat cats who avoided DIRT tax by placing their money with foreign banks or placing it here under foreign names. But how dishonest honest people can be. For years and years the Irish politicians told foreign fat cats: avoid paying your taxes in your own continental bank, place it with us; you avoid all your taxes and earn interest. Quod bonum Jove, non bonum bove. - Yours, etc.,
