. Accountants usually don't know the finer points of tax-law or how to deal with Revenue.
I would disagree with this, my one man band accountant is excellent and well able to handle audits and indeed revenue. If there is anything he doesn't know he will ensure to inform himself etc. The larger firms can be very expensive and beyond the costs of some people. And you can lose out on personal service.
Accountants are trained for debits/credits. Some (most) help with tax. But Revenue Audits should be the preserve of properly-qualified people.

As Bronte was saying you do need an advisor - opt for a Chartered Tax Advisor from the Irish Taxation Institute (most decent-sized accounting firms will have one employed).
I speak as both an accountant and a CTA.
Sorry, this is nonsense of the highest order.

You had a naked vested interest in making the first-quoted comment, and you didn't disclose it until challenged. Extremely poor form.
I certainly wasn't aware that you were a CTA, otherwise I would have pulled you up earlier on this thread.
My own position here is irrelevant, as on this site I have always clearly and fully disclosed my status.
Pulled me up, or contributed to this thread ? I did say in my first post, I couldn't recall all the rules.
You argue that accountants are familiar with tax-law; when do accountants study tax-law? Perhaps you meant rules, procedures, commentary & text books, and guidelines - which gets them by for the most part.
I'm still unsure what vested-interest you seem to suggest I'm touting here.
(In the interests of fairness - I have noted over past few months your own expertise in the areas you comment upon, and do not denigrate that in any way.)

I would agree that the first part may be true but I think that it's a vast generalisation to say accountants don't know how to deal with Revenue.
