The "reality is the boycott on property tax has finished," Anti-Austerity Alliance TD, Paul Murphy has said, after having to pay the tax on an apartment he sold earlier this year.


The man is a joke. He needed to sell a property so he ended his own boycott. Others need to avoid jail, to keep their jobs, so couldn't join his boycott, but he was a public servant so didn't need to worry about that. When he did have something to worry about, he coughed up the money pronto.

The last comment is priceless though:

However, Mr Murphy says he did not pay his water charges before moving out.
"I successfully sold without paying," he said.

This is the problem with the far left or far right, they proclaim their ideals from the roof-tops for all to hear, until they need to ignore those ideals for personal gain.

If you wish to have public services, they need to be paid for.

He's only following the teachings of Karl Mark - "those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others".
