    Would have been better to take 50c a week from everyone in the country every week, whether you are on the dole, any sort of benefit or work. Why should you be punished for having a home.

    They must have already spent about €100 on all their huffing and puffing with the protesting, ringing Joe and going to meetings.

    I am not paying it as I think it is completely unfair, I would rather see a progressive property tax implemented in 3 to 5 yrs. Spend the interim, cutting cost and wastage in local govt. I also resent that those in council houses have to pay nothing too, as well as the "rich" paying the same as the "working poor". We pay 300e private est mgmt fees a yr for our hse, for what I can see to date, a bit of grass cutting a few times a yr.

    REFORM and then REVIEW

    I think Ming Flanagan had it right when he said on the Late Late Show last Saturday night to cut local authority waste which costs an enormous amount of money

    With respect, NOTHING in your post can be referred to as stealth!

    Stealth - The act of moving, proceeding, or acting in a covert way

    So going on the above the fact the tax will increase in my humbler is stealth,

    He's probably paid himself. Any caller asking him that question will be cut off. He just love the rabble rousing, shyte stirring and trying to get everyone else to revolt.

    Likely to be the same as his mother's, but he hasn't asked her yet.

    The Lord Mayor of Cork recently paid €17,000 to get new carpet in his office. I'll be damned if I'm going to contribute to that. He should have gone to Carpet Right - probably would have got it for less than a grand.

    Where's bipolar joe to ring up in support of it?

    Remember, codeword is "hows the leg". Tell joe he could easily afford it because of his massive wages, and mention that it's only roughly half of what the tv licence is.
