It might only be half what it was, but unfortunately it means more and more people use the internet to spout racist rubbish.

However, who knows what the future will bring. Will everything in apparent turmoil, particularly western countries, it’s hard to escape the feeling that it is going to take something catastrophic to bring everyone to their sense and sort the mess out. Let’s hope it’s not another mass culling via some major conflict.

noonan scaremongering every1 to vote his way well im sorry mr noonan but we know that a no vote wont force us out of the euro its all about fiscal power nutn more ya tool

Now the Government is trying to shame us into paying the household charge by telling us it is only €2 per week and that the money is going to local Government to fund libraries, and whatever else the government gave grants for. So we are now going to fund local services while the Government uses the money it used to give to local government to pay off bondholders …cut backs again for the people of Ireland while the €3 billion plus interest goes to the now bankrupt Anglo in March 2012. We could do with the money which is going to be borrowed to pay IOU notes …Resist paying household charge ….not because it is too much but because we are again being told half truths or downright lies. Why dont the Government come out and say truthfully we have to pay the money which local government usually gets into Anglo…Shame on them ..

since the budget every little shop or business has rushed to put up prices with no justification which proves that they are basically money grubbers and will rip people off every chance they get,since the so called recession; the wealthy elite have massively increased their wealth.

I have lived in France/Italy/Spain/ England and they ALL pay a Tax on Land and Houses SO why is it different in Ireland, This as you ALL know goes back to a old FF Vote TRICK and at long last and LONG over due a Gov has had the guts to bring a very CHEAP form of Land Tax back.

TRD,, It is not , me thinks the “land tax” as you call it, thats at issue here, The ordinary joe and josephine who never even got pissed on by the celtic tiger, are now the powerless victims of that self same celtic tiger, and yet joe and josephine and their handicapped child, their elderly parents, their school going children, and their ability to merely exist in 21st century Ireland , whilst being compelled to pay for the grossly immoral and obscene greed of the so called higher echelons of Irish society, out of their much reduced income, and feeling abandoned and forgotten by the people they elected on a raft of promises, 5 point plans, transparancy, equity and the usual plethora of election promises, these people are the people who will evenyually revolt and take back control of their destinies, and the mighty will fall , of that I am certain,,History down the ages bears that out.. How clever of Fianna Fail , to lose the election by such a majority, another master stroke from FF, Cant see FG & Lab getting a big majority next time out, which may well be sooner than even they are anticipating. And TRD , I would remind you of the countries that you mentioned as having a “land tax” , these countries by and large also had / have a fully functioning health, service, welfare service, and an education service, In the interests of fairness lets compare like with like. We hopefully have left the ideas and aspirations of Adolf Hitler in the past…..well maybe we haven’ t

well said Mick Flynn!!
