The Greens and Fianna Fáil have "negotiated" a deal whereby a €225 flat tax will be levied on every household, regardless of income. The levy is expected to generate nearly €300 million a year in revenue. For families which are just barely scraping by, a levy of €225 a year is a serious attack. Coupled with a proposed 20% reduction in the per-child allowance, decreases in rent allowance, and increasing unemployment, many families will be making decisions about what how much food they can put on the table and how they will clothe their children. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3The water charges are a disgrace. Theyr not here yet but their introducing them by telling us that they are not introducing them this time.....but at a later date. Preparing the way for the charges to be implimented. The national media propaganda network RTE have run several interviews and radio shows on the subject, Kenny, Duffy, ant Ryan....further prepairing us for this charge. Conditioning us.
Eamon Ryan said that it would take massive cAPITAL EXPENSE to install the meters....the work is already done throughout most of dublin and are ready to install meters outside on the public pathwayas feeding water into houses.
The French poured concrete into their access shores after the meters went in and defeated the measure....Im Not Suggesting that Anyone Do Such a tHING hERE IN iRELAND.....BUT...I do have a shovel... and i just picked up a lovley cheap bucket in lidl when i went in for bread.
Whens the campaign starting...
yes I too have heard of the concrete idea and hear it worked well over in England too.....
so now not only are we getting industrial waste products added to our water and told it is for our own good, we are going to be expected to pay for being slowly poisoned too? feck off, this system needs a good hard and swift kick in their arses
You already pay.
You just don't notice.
