The govt are planning on letting elderly folk who wish to, defer payment of the property tax until after their death, at which point it can be deducted from the deceased persons estate. I've heard of greed, and I've heard of desperation, but that is fcuking scandalous.

Of course not BUT sure aren't our wonderful Government returning the stakes with interest to the bondholders and making their people pay for it. I wonder what the Revenue Commissioners in Germany and France think of that. They must be laughing their heads off.

Anglo Irish Bank, a private company, was, is and will be bankrupt, bust, broke, borked… The black sheep of Irish banking its dingleberry Irish Nationwide Building Society was similarly banjacked. They now live in the zombie called Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, but lets call them Anglo. Or Quanglo, as they also own Quinn Insurance, a smaller black hole… It had bonds which in a fit of yet to be explained magnanimity the then Irish government determined to repay. It created a promissory note (an iou), which it gave to Anglo. We know that this was not real government debt as if it had been then it would have gone to the ECB and got cash. Instead it went to the Central Bank of Ireland, and got…cash. Because that’s what central banks do, they create cash. With the cash Anglo paid off its bondholders, and runs the bank (down we hope) Every year the Irish government gives money to Anglo, who then give that money to the central bank who then in effect destroy it. That way no net money is created. This is because the ECB say so. Apparently although central banks exist to create money, doing so is bad….Apparently. The Irish government either borrows that money from the troika or takes it from its citizens, and instead of doing useful things like giving it to professors of finance or even, god help us, spending on social good, it gives it to Anglo. The plan now is to replace the its-not-government-debt ProNote with a you-betcha-its –governemnt-debt, give that to Anglo, tear up the ProNote, borrow money to repay the debt, give THAT to anglo, who will give it to the central bank who will STILL destroy it.

The vast majority (548,228) of those who have paid have done so for just one home but almost 90,000 people who own up to 50 properties have paid multiple charges.

Jesus if they had the bitch of all mother in laws and she was a pro property tax they would divorce the wife and marry the mother id say.

(or have you made a Freudian slip?)Tax payers make up salaries and pensions of public servants, government members etc. Your 'evader'remarks refer to folk who've not (and won't) pay the HHC. We've been told the hhc has been 'ring fenced' for local services, if however you're now saying that by not paying the hhc, you're not contributing to an over paid ministers salary (while they themselves haven't 'shared the pain') I say well done guys. Keep up the good work.
