The 450 wealthiest people in Ireland paid on average about €750,500 each in tax last year – about a twentieth of the €14m tax bill paid by Michael O’Leary in the Celtic Tiger days of 2003, The Sunday Independent reports.

In 2007, the Revenue unit that monitors the tax affairs of the super-rich collected €544m in taxes. Last year, the total almost halved to €337.7m.
