It doesnt matter two fiddlers farts the amount, its just the fact that we have to pay it in the first place!

Oh yeah, its 100 this year (TO BEGIN WITH) what will it be next year if we let them away with slipping it under the door this year?

Civil disobedience is the way forward, lets all stand together, tell FG and the greedy bankers to go fcuk themselves!

Typical response from the 'ah sure it'll be grand brigade'!

Fcuk em, Fcuk the lot of them!

I'm paying because I like the idea that the additional tax burden will give my splenetic moron tirades about the destiantion of "my taxes" ve even more imagined greivance.

It's cheap at the price, really.

the idiots that register and pay this will be the ones whinging and moaning next year and the year after that because of a much larger property tax forced onto them.

I won't be paying it so they can go fcuk themselves.

So your not going to pay a tax this year because of an increase that might come in next year? Logical. Very good.

As others have said this is just the starting point. Many people will cough up thinking, sure it's only 100 but It will increase year on year on year until you are paying god knows what.

This is a tax for owning/renting your own home. Some are saying that it is for LA services yet they are so
inefficient. You will be paying for so much wastage within the LAs.

Some are comparing it to the UK system where they get refuse and other services for their money. I want to know what things are like over their in the uk - average income, net income, taxes, prices for rent, food, clothing, transport - car public transport, medical costs etc.

I thought it was in the constitution that everyone has a right to shelter. This tax is going against peoples right to shelter, is it not?

Happy to pay BUT ONLY IF the public funded pensions of the politicans and senior public servants are capped at max of european average,not payable until OAP entitlement age and one state pension only per person...
Remember thats where most of our money is going!!!!Our so called government(with a
small g) looking after themselves and their friends..
Recent payouts show its still as bad as with the last regime..same club..different tent!!!!

The geriatric rest home for friends and failed(aka the senate)was to be abolished,but all gone quiet on this..Shut it down now and keep a hospital open for heavens sake!!
..
Happy xmas from what i feel is the most corrupt country in europe.

If things are that tight then they should look to get some kind of mortgage interest relief and therefore won't need to pay the property charge.

You dont own a house (in this country) yet do you?



Come back and preach to me when you become a responsible adult and get bills like the rest of us.

No, it's not. There is a right to own property (Article 43.1) but that's a different thing entirely.

No, it's not. By the same logic rent and mortgage payments should be illegal.
