    Could do without the digs at FF. Have no love for them, but there's a time and a place for cheap shots and this isn't it.

    Why do you think we pay tax?

    They do pay, and reallly I don't see how it's so important in the terms of the economy.

    Let's not forget they had a huge part to play in putting us here.
    How people could ever consider voting for them again is beyond me.

    Hmmm.

    USC - no change
    Petrol - no change
    Motor tax - no change
    Income tax - no change
    VAT - no change


    Not too shabby.

    Did he mention something about ex-gratia redundancy payments? I can't see anything on the rte page about it...

    No, he said that tax relief has been abolished on ex-gratia lump sum pension payments.
