    RBB is obviously trying to grow a moustache. Or maybe he was dressed up as "The Count" earlier and forgot to wash off the ink.

    That would take years, clog up the courts and is probably just a scare tactic.

    There was a pothole near my home a few years ago. One day a motorist saw two ears sticking up from it as he approached. He thought it must have been a rabbit. It turned out to be a donkey.

    This is a great country - we want more social workers, more teachers, more guards, more prisons, more doctors, more nurses etc etc ... but no we don't want to pay anymore tax. Deluded or what? :confused:

    If they had a Property Tax that included your water charges, bins etc then I would have no problem with it but we won't get that. It is just a revenue raising tax.

    As is the purpose of all taxes. Tha discussion is chaotic. That Charlie Weston doesn't know his arse from his elbow.

    If their are 433,000 people earning over €100,000 their total income at exactly €100,000 would be €433 bn. While Gross Domestic Product is €165 bn. Crazy.

    Have they sent a bill to any of these people? It will last all of 1 minute in court if your accused of not paying a charge you were never issued a bill for. The household charge has no bearing in law and is a voluntary charge which people have voluntered to pay by registering.

    Today, Phil Hogan handed over 740,000 euro of Irish taxpayers' money from the Department of Environment to a bunch of racist bigots known as The Orange Order. If that's not reason enough for refusing to pay the Household Charge, then nothing is.

    Not exactly.
    I would pay more Income Tax before I could even think of paying a tax aimed at my private home.

    The Germans should pay for it, why should we pay taxes when the Germans can pay for it instead?

    RBB 'I wouldn't have stood over those figures'. (the 433,000 earning €100,000 +)

    How honest - pity he didn't say it at the time.

    Vinny's topics tonight are as follows:

    New proposal to have limited Oireachtas inquiries - is there any point to them? And would they be independent of government.

    Is Sean Quinn on the verge of going to jail for contempt?


    Tonight's panel, Mick Clifford, Noel Whelan and John McGuinness

    The fact that they are producing legislation to set up these inquires makes a mockery of the last referendum.

    no it doesn't. :rolleyes:
    they want to introduce new inquiries, which they feel are required and within the constitution.

    I'm actually a bit disappointed in Mick Clifford :( The cheek of him to come into my living room without a tie :D

    I'm convinced that Noel Whelan got false teeth or had some dental work done recently and it is affecting his speech.

    Same old same old,
    mock exasperated Vincent alongside three country bumpkins.

    He introduces the topic of the Inquiries and then feigns exasperation and delights in the fact that the topic has been discussed. What will fill the rest of the time for the segment with.
