Most favour withdrawing passports from tax exiles
A new poll has found that more than half of all adults in Ireland believe tax exiles should not be entitled to hold Irish passports.
According to a Red C opinion poll for the Sunday Times which found only 26% of people surveyed said they should be given a passport.
More than 5,500 Irish passport holders are claiming tax exile status at a €170m cost to the State every year.
Some 440 of those are considered to be 'super-rich' individuals.
