The trial of a former Fianna Fáil TD charged with obtaining a tax clearance certificate by false pretences will resume today after a day of legal argument.
Michael Collins (66), of Patrickswell, Co Limerick, is accused of claiming he was tax compliant at a time when he held a bogus non-resident account at a Co Limerick bank.
The former Limerick West TD has pleaded not guilty at Limerick Circuit Court to obtaining a tax clearance certificate by false pretences in 2002.
