Household Charge Boycott

[Maguire01]

So, who's paying this? And is it irresponsible of TDs to advise the general public not to pay it?

[Rossfan]

TDs are law makers so even if they oppose a law surely once it's passed they are obliged to not break it or resign their seat?

Or am I being totally naive?

I'll let these two lads have the floor and explain, they've far more experience in these matters

[Shamrock Shore]

While you may or may not agree with it the parliament of the state passed this law and therefore all householders have an obligation to pay it where it's due. I thinks it's ham fisted and scatter gun but there ya go. Of course I will pay it, as I pay PAYE, USC, PRSI, VAT, Excise duties, rates and Uncle Tom Cobbly and all.

These 11 TDs should be ran out of the Dáil pronto.

[mylestheslasher]

I'll pay it. However, i will do everything I can to get this ball-less cowardly government out of power and see can we get someone in there to make decisions for Ireland.

This shows the total and absolute hypocrisy of Sinn Féin. They are ranting that a property tax is an abomination in Donegal while their councils in Tyrone and Fermanagh are run their affairs based on a property tax. As an alleged 32county party they are a disgrace and as a political party they are a joke.

Erm... But this isn't a property tax. I'll think you'll find SF are supportive of a property tax.

Highly irresponsible from the td's to even suggest boycotting the charge. It is an exercise in populism.

I can't an alternative waiting in the wings though.

FFS its a grossly unfair poll tax, if the southern Irish had any pride they'd resist it in the same manner as the Brits did when Thatcher tried the same stroke.

What are you going to do?

[sammymaguire]

Joke  why don't they set up a few bucket shakers outside the churches, shops, traffic lights up and down the country too!! Dicks

[ardal]

Have they taken the toll on the M50 back yet, or is it still in private hands?

That'd take in a hefty amount per year, no?

One in five of them want FF back in power and almost 30% of them wanted to make one of the FF national organisers our President. I wouldn't hold my breath.
