I haven’t loved you this much since your eleventy-first birthday party Master Baggins

No i have just thought about it. Save the stamp and crawl back into your cave.

The councils did that in the 80′s when parents didn’t or refused to pay the water rates. They held a lot of parents to ransom. (fine Gael in power then as well)

But that’s discriminatory. Even murderer’s children may be eligible for a grant. If the parent is breaking the law they should be dealt with in the courts; the child is not at fault and so should not be penalised..

That’s dreadful

A contribution of that intellectual depth and as Gaeilge suggests…….a Shinner!

Common law of the land stands for the protection of citizens of this land, don’t sign away your rights, my good advice to everyone is, research it for yourself before you sign anything .

Sounds like Freeman of the Land guff. See how long that lasts you in front of a judge.

Slapstick…… Sounds like you are spouting Freeman nonsense

Barry, check it out for yourself , alternatively ,sign up if you wish, you will soon find out the true facts when €5 charge becomes €500 in a few years from now, and you won’t have any way out, all because you signed a binding contract with government. good luck, you’ll need it.

The point is you won’t appear in front of a judge if you don’t register. It’s that simple.

Yes John that’s what this deception is, Government intentionally hiding the truth from the people, nicely put thanks

My septic tank is called “Phill-it full of shight”. What’s yours called?

I’ve no major problem with 5 euro to register the septic tank – we live close to a lake so it’s vital that septic tanks in our area are working correctly and not polluting the place. What I do have a problem with though is if these inspectors decide the septic tank isn’t up to scratch- despite it fitting the bill where the original planning conditions are concerned – then it is up to home-owners to somehow find the thousands of euro it may take to bring it up to what they now, ten-years on, decide should be a normal standard – that’s alot of septic tanks/treatment plants to be buying everytime they decide the old type isn’t as environmentally friendly. Regardless of where you live it should be the same rules for everyone – no one in my mind should have to pay to have their septic tank upgraded/emptied- we’re possibly going to be paying even more of a household charge come December – let that cover it, oh and why not include our bin charges, water charges and doctor fees in that too instead of emptying our money into a vanishing black hole!!

I just seen something about not giving the college grants unless the household charge has been paid
?

How can they do that. It isn’t on the criteria by which they assess eligibility for the grant. The student has been deemed eligible, and then the council withholds it?

Have seen the letter issued, they’re looking for a copy of the receipt of payment.

It’s confirmed by Clare County Council. http://www.rte.ie/news/2012/0918/clare-students-household.html

David that doesn’t follow. I have a septic tank and it was installed in excess of the standards in 1983 and today it’s not working. I have registered and will install a new one costing over twelve thousand because I don’t want to be convicted of polluting a watercourse which it appears now to be doing.
My concern is that grants if provided will not be retrospective !

Depends on what specs we will be required to meet..
Maybe even newer systems will fall short of whatever they have signed us up to.. The level of treatment on new system varies so who knows..
