Revenue has revealed that 23 people are on its latest list of tax defaulters for "misuse of marked mineral oil" (green diesel).

According to Revenue these 23 people were handed court fines totaling €56,450.

It also confirmed that a one-month custodial sentence was also imposed "suspended for 12 months on own bond of €100".

Revenue today (Tuesday, March 10) published its list of tax defaulters for the period October 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025.

The occupation of three of the 23 people who were on the list for the misuse of green diesel was stated to be "farmer".

Revenue's list of tax defaulters is published in two parts - part one includes "persons in whose case the court has determined a penalty relating to a settlement, or has imposed a fine, imprisonment or other penalty in respect of a tax or duty offence".

While part two relates to "persons in whose case Revenue has accepted a settlement offer instead of initiating court proceedings, or a settlement has been paid in full".
