    Yes, have you listened to him and his communist bolloxology?

    correct

    The saving grace being he hasn't been give the freedom to make things worse.

    He sounded absolutely lame in his arguments, unlike Fintan MacNamara. The latter was well-informed, moderate in his propositions and highly believable. Hard to believe the sort of s**** spouted by Murphy. He's a mature man, not an undergraduate!

    i was initially concerned about this bill but when i heard it had been dreamt up by these loony leftie idiots like Murphy my concern abated somewhat.
    i dont see any sensible TD supporting this nonsense, and any that does will never be re-elected imo.

    in an irronic twist murphy and his ilk are doing LLs a favour, by highlighting the mad-cap regulations that are already in place, many of which need to be abolished/amended.


    You might be dangerously wrong on the approval possibilities. The bill is at committee stage because it was approved at second stage in the Dáil due to FF abstaining (just playing politics). See with your own eyes:

    the way he refers to the "landlord class".
    you'ld swear we were back in the 1870s.

    God save Ireland if his ilk ever gain a foothold of power/influence in this country

    The loony left are representing the 1% by proxy. Bringing in illogical laws that kick the small landlord (or lady) forcing a massive number of them (paying huge tax) to leave the market while the reits are left to clean up (paying FA tax). The loser is the youth who may be renting and want to buy and do not realise these measures are counter productive . The liberal media are a disgrace also not to point this stuff out. Who the hell are they representing I wonder. And as for E Murphy.. a clown if you ask me not to mention P murphy


  • Registered Users Posts: 445 ✭✭Garibaldi?


    A lot of people seem to be unaware of the huge overheads which the property owner has to contend with. They think the rent goes straight into his/her pocket! In basic taxes it's 40%(the marginal rate because most landlords are working), the highest rate of USC(about 7%) and PRSI(4%). So that's over half gone back to the state from the word go. That's not counting the PRTB fee, the house insurance, repairs, property tax, extra health and safety requirements, and last but not least the ongoing paperwork and documentation which have come to beset the sector in recent years. Perhaps these matters might be better handled by large corporate bodies and maybe the era of the small landlord is no more. But the transition period will result in much hardship if landlords of relatively modest means are forced to withdraw en masse.

    You won't hear the reits going "he is a good tenant and is trying to buy ..let's leave the rent as it is"

    As a tenant I would want the landlord to able to get crap or non paying tenants out asap. Look at the other posts looking for a place to rent. Now my tenants are gone I have an empty property that will stay empty

    well as a LL of some years, and having read this thread and others, i have to say if this legislation comes into force then i will be giving serious consideration to selling-up. luckily for me all my properties are debt-free.
    i have excellent, trouble-free tenants, and will not look forward to asking them to quit, but why would i or any other LL put up with this nonsense, when i can cash in my chips and enjoy a few decades in sunny Spain?

    The trouble is that the new rules could be brought in for existing tenancies with no notice so you could be snookered.

    Yeah I got snookerred with the low rent in rpz. I was never going to be greedy but don't like being made a gimp of either. It was the start of the end

    I'm sure he's never advised tenants to overhold resulting in a hardening of landlord's attitudes towards tenants.

    I'm sure he's never advised callers to his clinics who've recently left private rented accommodation to roll the dice in a hotel and wait it out.

    I'm sure he's never supported the illegal occupation by career protestors of private property.

    You don't need to be in government to get things done.

    What exactly did he get done?

    We need gob****es like Murphy in every Dail. Leave them roar out the old populist ****e they picked up in Trinity but bottom line is they will never get near power.
    The Shinners have realised that and have postponed the revolution

    murphy's philosophy if you can call it such, is simply the politics of envy. he would just love to improverish anybody who is trying to improve their lot, and drag them down to his level.

    the only people who support him and his ilk are fellow losers with massive chips on their shoulders.

    Wrong. Murphy and Rich Boy Barrett will want the private schools and third level for the Left elite and the great unwashed can stay uneducated.
    While access to third level in Ireland can be costly it is open to all even if it means sacrifices in families, part time jobs etc. If a young person has the determination to get to third level they will get there. Murphys mob did their best to ruin the day for ordinary decent working class people in Tallaght who were being awarded degrees and diplomas. Probably the first in their families ever to achieve that level. Murphy had a priveleged upbringing and thinks he knows whats best for the working class. Clare Daly is another one. From Kildare army officer family but has developed a Dubbalin wuuuuurkin classss accent to get a bit of street cred

    Well said! That's hitting the nail well and truly on the head! Murphy et al encouraged people to behave like thugs and to intimidate and threaten others. It matters not what anyone thinks of those public representatives. They were going about their lawful business and should have been free to do so..He spouts a load of simplistic Pseudo-socialist bull*** reminiscent of a first year college student in a long-bygone era!

    That murphy idiot never did an honest day's work in his pathetic little life. as for billy boy bollix i think he'ld crap himself if he ever had to roll up his sleeves and do a hard day's graft.
    make me sick the lot of 'em!

    Grrrrr!:mad:
