press release
Thursday February 09, 2012 15:33 by O. O'Connell
Goalposts have been shifted - but we don't even know what the new rules are “Our core concerns remain: what are the actual tank standards? What assistance will be available if we now need to upgrade our systems, despite having complied by the rules that the institutions of state set previously? Instead of answering these questions, Minister Phil Hogan has introduced draconian legislation which dictates that householders will be dragged through the courts and may be fined up to €5,000 if they cannot comply with his secret standards. The heavy-handedness, and lack of clarity surrounding this scheme stinks.” The organiser of a public meeting against the government’s proposed septic tank scheme, has said that its core issues and roll-out ‘stinks’. Oisín O’Connell from Foulkesmill said that he decided to organise the meeting in the Horse-and-Hound, Ballinaboola on the fifteenth of February, to highlight misconceptions surrounding the controversial scheme, and to present sensible alternatives. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2The rules of the new tax are an irrelevance!!!!!!!!!. Any discussion of how badly handled the introduction was is an irrelevance!!!!!! And in fact will only legitimise this farce.
Its not a Sceptic Tank tax it is a Sceptic Bank tax . And was dreamed up by some unelected bureaucrat in Brussels as the latest in a long line of half -arsed(!) attempts to squeeze the life out of the Oirish people ( and the obligatory " envoirnment " issue tagged on for good measure)
Its simple they are running out of things to tax . What they eat !
The clothes they wear !
The house they live in !
The Water they need to survive!
SO WHATS LEFT??????
What comes out of there ass in endless supply ????
EUREKA !!!!!
Brown gold to the taxman !!!!!!
Yes Ireland its time to tax Shite !!!!!!
Lets just hope its done FAIRLY and across the board and ENDA ,EAMONN & JOAN pay by the TONNE for the Shite thats spewed about the Dail on a daily basis!!!!!
FOR WHAT DIED THE SONS OF ROISIN INDEED!!!!!
A government which gives out fracking licences in the lough allen basin while in the same breath insisting on septic tank measures "to protect the water and environment" is a lying sneaky government not to be trusted!!!
Essentially this is all just a variation on the age old protection racket. "Give us money and we won't do x"
where x=" drag you through the courts and fine you."
whats the difference between the krays and FG? being beaten up by the krays only lasts a few minutes wheras FG can drag out your psychological torture harassment and anxiety for years using the courts etc.
