Taxing referees

Sir, - No doubt the Revenue Commissioners have a long list of alleged income tax abuses that they need to investigate. Given their unerring instinct for own goals, the minor league focus they now have on the few pounds earned by a referee for an under-sevens' soccer game should hardly be surprising.

However, I wonder if we will ever see the day when they can play competently in the big league and get a meaningful result from any of the home fixtures currently playing at the tribunals at Dublin Castle. - Yours, etc.,
