While the rest of us moan and whinge about the heavy burden placed on the PAYE worker, Mr Haughey has led by example and contested his "supposed" bill of £2 million. In so doing, he had it reduced to zero. He deserves all the private islands that such initiative rightly deserves.

Why wait for the government of the day to reduce the tax bands when there is a solution like this for us to work with? - Yours, etc., Dermot Sreenan,
