Appeal in €1.6m garlic fraud case begins
By MAEVE SHEEHAN
Sunday December 02 2012
THE Dublin fruit importer who was jailed for six years for passing off Chinese garlic as apples to avoid paying high customs costs will start his appeal tomorrow of a sentence that his family have described as “outrageous”.
Paul Begley, from Rathcoole, Co Dublin, was sentenced in March after he admitted that he avoided paying €1.6m in garlic import duty. His appeal of his six-year sentence opens tomorrow in the Court of Criminal Appeal after the judges agreed to prioritise his case.
The severity of Begley’s jail term prompted huge public debate about sentencing policy. It drew comparisons with the six months served by businessman Anthony Lyons for sexual assault after five and a half years of his sentence was suspended. It was also contrasted with the settlement independent TD Mick Wallace reached with the Revenue for under-declaring VAT returns.
Last week, former district court judge Heather Perrin embarked on a two-year prison term for trying to defraud her elderly client.
Begley is serving his sentence in the Mountjoy[/url] training unit, where it is believed he befriended [url=“http://searchtopics.independent.ie/topic/Sean_Quinn”]Sean Quinn and his son Sean Jnr, who were both given jail terms for contempt of court. Sean Jnr, who served three months, worked in the prison kitchen washing pots while Begley worked in the tuck shop. His father, Sean Quinn, who was jailed last month, plays cards with Begley. Begley, 46, ran a fruit and vegetable import business in Blanchardstown that was one of the biggest in Ireland. His trial heard that garlic import duty was “inexplicably” high at up to 232 per cent while other fruit and vegetables had rates as low as nine per cent. He passed off 1,000 tonnes of garlic as apples.
Begley confessed to the scam when the authorities discovered it. He made monthly payments of €33,000 over the past two years to clear the €1.6m debt. At the time of his trial, the debt was down to €700,000.
Judge Martin Nolan acknowledged that Begley was a decent man, but that he had engaged in a “grave” and “huge” tax evasion scheme, and that such offences were hard to uncover. He said the only effective deterrent was a lengthy jail sentence.
Begley’s sister, Aisling, wrote to Enda Kenny[/url] and [url=“http://searchtopics.independent.ie/topic/Alan_Shatter_%28politician%29”]Alan Shatter to protest at the “unjust” sentence. In correspondence, released under the FOI, she asked: "How can you both sit back and let this huge injustice proceed? How can a judge compare tax evasion to taking a life or sex abuse of a minor?

The term “curvy girls”, this has been misused and abused to the point where it now legitimises women to be fat and hideous and even worse - take pride in it. Women should all aspire to get themselves into whippet shape, this came to my attention when some wagon I know liked a page called ‘curvy girls are better than skinny girls’ - I was shocked to find this page had nearly two million likes! I then went to check to see if there was an alternative page and to my disgust there was a ‘skinny girls are better than curvy girls’ which only had 671 likes!
Even by it’s definition curvy women are disgusting, with their wide hips, jelly bellies and fat droopy tits. It seems to be that fat women are extremely hostile to the slender beauties, I have found Irish women to quite racist against the Eastern European beauts we have welcomed to Ireland. Irish women used to be alright - now they are a fat disgrace and the men of Ireland have just sat around and let this crisis fester.
Excellent post. Just excellent.
Fantastic post.
Another one is when someone describes a woman as “bubbly”. This inevitably means she is rather large and obese but has a hearty laugh.
that facebook page was brought to my attention when a male facebook friend liked it. his girlfriend could be described as curvy. or else fat. whichever way you want to look at it.
Agree here. I like curvy women in the traditional sense but the definition of curvy has changed and has been latched onto by whales.
Flesh that out you joyless cunt.
Fuck you and your Christian holiday.

Christmas is great for the nippers, fuck the joyless cunts who have an issue with it.
Christmas FM is a radio station devoted to holiday music and raising money for Charity, what harm is it doing?
The scoreline in the Leinster IFC Final. Wrong.
Totti’s post is cliched horseshit from a lad who barely knows how to talk to a woman let alone what to do if he got his hands on one.
The vast majority of men would prefer the ‘curvy’ Kelly brook to the ‘skinny’ Keira knightley at the top end of the market and after that its down to personal taste. I’d far prefer a pair of tits and an decent arse on a woman all things being equal though.
You’d be grateful for anything you could get your grubby little paws on.
You missed the point. He is giving out about the word “curvy” being hijacked by big fat lumps who justify their rolls as “curvy”.
Nice pun, pal.
The annual Christmas work do. :guns:
I honestly think there are people who only get out once a year and the Christmas work do is that occasion. A few birds in the office on about it already. Bad enough that I work with some of these people, not going to waste a night making small talk with some of these people who I’ve nothing in common with.
Didn’t go last year and refusing to go this year too.
Are you the office oddball mate? You should go and just spend the right shitting on about Munster-you’ll have the dollybirds eating out of your ass.
