    Another figure would be nice on this list the actual number of houses liable for the household charge 1.75million approx. surely someone somewhere knows of the exact figure – It’s definitely more that 1.6m

    Anyway a nice figure for this list would be the percentage of the people of Donegal that haven’t registered for the household tax – 73%
    Over 60% in Carlow and Waterford and on we go….

    It would be nice if the media could be unbiased in its news coverage and state these figures for the benefit of the people. After all people are their business!!
