Good news for those not paying the household tax. Even if you get taken to court and fined or ordered to pay follow the lead of a senior minister in government and the deputy leader of FG. Take your time in complying with the order.

The sad thing is , is that James Reilly is probably the most qualified person to hold his office ever. He’s a fantastic doctor and knows how the medical machine operates unlike many of his predecessors he’s more than capable of revamping the totally dysfunctional health service that has evolved over decades.

See his address in the top picture. Shouldn’t the letter G be actually a P ?

The Blue shirts are Masters at going under ground

Aaah now the bold Enda is defending him. They can come up with all the ridiculous excuses they want. Like they couldnt agree percentages. Simple fact is O’Reilly did not need to wait for the 4 investors agreement to pay up, he could have gone ahead on his own and paid.
I do not fault the man for not paying if he simply doesnt have the money to pay, what makes me sick is that he has said since taking office “its absolutely unacceptable for someone not to pay their debts ” Hypocrite, Hypocrite Hypocrite, Liar, Liar , Liar

How come Reilly gets to speak to the house tomorrow and Wallace was refused. Is rules different for Ministers and TDs ?

Cal, just saw the house on the news, I suspect he is availing of a provision in the tax acts that gives a tax break on “significant” buildings once they are “opened to the public” for a minimum of 30 days a year. So if you can figure out when those days are and if you are of a mind to do so you could go to visit him!

Sean, what have weddings and partys got to do with a house being opened to the public? Thats a profit making effort… nothing to do with doing good for the general public.

Cal, I bet they are used to meet “the open to the public criteria” for the tax break! that’s what they have to do with it

And I taught if u were a minister that under the constitution this is the only position ur supposed to attaib.

No Reada, apparently Shatter only wants to take Jewellery from those that owe the least. Please, can someone from FFg/Labour refute this, if i am inaccurate in my statement.
No decent member of FFg/Labour worth their salt will owe anything less than 20,000.
Phil Hogan 900,000 (interest only mortgage from his good friend fingers fingeleton, the same Fingleton who almost single handedly bankrupt this country).

Have to pull you up on some very simplistic but populist statements there Reada, I think if you took the trouble to look you would see that the original transaction that has given rise to the judgement was entered into before he became minister and it won’t be his “buddy” Alan Shatter or any law that he might be about to enact who will be taking any jewelry from him but those who have obtained the judgement who may seek to ” enforce” the judgement and sending in the sherrif to obtain goods to the value of the debt. This law already exists

Having said all that as I posted previously in the various treads about Joe And Clares expenses our none of our public reps are great at meeting probity tests so apart from some hot air it will be business as usual!

Sean, before Fine Gael won the election, which let’s face it was a one man race in this our conservative yet beloved Ireland, Dr James Reilly was the Fine Gael spokesperson on Health. Is that close enough?

And I only ever write my true feelings on this website. if they’re considered populist then I’m glad that most of the population agree with me. Populist isn’t a dirty word you know :-)

even I read about the judgement a number of months ago, thats a ‘the dog ate my homework’ excuse! Pathetic!!

That would be RTE the neutrel state broadcaster.Did they mention this listed in the commerical court in Feburary.I’m still waiting to hear mention of Mr Hogan’s 900 grand interest only loan off Mr Fingleton and i wonder is it non recourse?

http://t.co/vQwtCvH3 The link to the latest member of the gangster party to be in court.

Fagan. Read that. Seems they gave him his passport back to go on holidays. Guilty, but shur have a holiday first. Amazing… Just freaking amazing…!!!

Ming Flanagan looks increasingly respectable as this Dail term goes on.
When are Donnelly and Ross going to found a party and bring some small bit of respectability to Irish politics.

75% of the Judges, senior guards and DPP people have been put in place by FF over the last 30 years. He’ll have more friends in the legal system than at his own wedding. Give it a short time and he’ll be in an open prison, and most of it will be suspended for good behaviour. FF will be burning the phone lines to sort things out for their buddy. They know if they don’t look after their people that are going through the courts that they might start talking and burst the org. wide open.

Look at the last few months alone, 2 ex MEP’s in court, 2 ex-Ministers arrested by the fraud squad, countless cllrs in the dock. Several of the leading figures, including party leaders condemned as corrupt.

If people starter talking, it would start an avalanche of trials that would end up with most of the leading members of FF on trial from the last 30 years.

Why…what has he done that is illegal , immoral , unethical or in breach of Dail rules?

Ah Mark he is a senior minister in the government, the deputy leader of FG who has failed to comply with a court directive. In most countries that would be a good enough reason to resign.

Kerry the sad thing is a you said “most countries” just not this one though.

Jackie…take a big BIG breath and start again!

Mark, no need to put the Fine Gael logo beside your name. It’s obvious you are incapable of feeling any empathy for Jackie.

I don’t care if James Reilly has had financial difficulties – we all have. What is disgusting about this case is that he, as the Health Minister has an obvious conflict of interest. Let’s be honest, James Reilly is more interested in providing health care for those willing to pay through the nose for it than those replying on a decent public health system. Capitalist Fine Gael!

Jackie
You are perfectly right in what you say . Do not allow anyone tell you otherwise .
This shower of two faced craw thumpers are a disgrace . They suffer no shame because they share no empathy with ordinary decent people .

Don’t think it was a tax defaulters list, rather a high court judgement to another group of business people that has not been paid yet so they basically went back to court to register the lack of payment and Stubbs routinely publishes a list of registered non payments from the courts

Court order made in April in July the current minister of health is declared a defaulter. To be honest Mark I’ve no interest in what he has to say. I’m looking forward to the next time Phil Hogan starts threatening those who haven’t signed up to the household tax. He’ll say it’s the law and I’ll say it’s alright Phil I’m following Dr. James path. Senior Minister of the Government and the deputy head of FG has said ignore court orders. Lesson learnt.
