    Interesting report about the numbers paid in galway and numbers they actually need to pay.
    Less than 6,000 County Galway home owners have coughed up the controversial household charge so far – that represents a paltry seven per cent compliance among those who are required to pay the fee, which is less than the national average.

    This means that there are more than 70,000 households which have not paid the charge across Galway city and county

    Next bit makes Interesting reading.
    and there are fears at Government level that this will lead to a ‘safety in numbers’

    That,s exactly what the anti household tax campaign is saying the whole time- there always safety and strength in numbers, while its easy to pick people off on their own, they can,t come after people in big numbers as a community, and they can,t bring everyone to court.

    How many here in the galway forum have paid? / not paid?/ Intending to pay? / Intending not to pay?/ Undecided?

    Sorry but please use main thread in AH. That's still going strong, has a poll and the household charge is national.
