point taken but lets just all hang together and resist this one ok?

I'm involved in the campaign myself and am trying to get people to travel up from the country for the rally. However people keep asking me what is going to happen at it and I know no more than them. Could the campaign please issue a statement saying what is planned for the day. It is hard to get people to give up their saturday for a vague 'rally'.

The point is right if we all REFUSED TO PAY there wouldnt be a lot they could do if we ALL sang from the same hymn sheet.I was watching RTE news yesterday and they stated that ''if we didnt pay we would get the fine''.What i think will happen is everybody will bow down and pay them.In the 60's - 70's before all that water charge etc was scrapped,the rubbish and water services were part of the household charge.They are basically asking us for 100 euros and providing no service,its like a loan shark asking you to pay up or else..

@Activist - a' rally' means you stand around and watch politicians deliver speeches, while various left groups hand out leaflets to try to get you to join their organisations.

Thats a great idea!! fund your preferred public services directly instead of it going into the german banking black hole.

household charges for nothing..they are asking for 100 euros tax for providing no services,no bin service no nothing..pay up or else you get a 2000 euro fine,if that isnt bully tactics i dont know what is,what they are doing is extortion and should be classed as illegal,if i tried that on someone i would be thrown in jail.

It's to save taxes so we can pay the euro debts.But If they sorted out all the dole cheats who are working and claiming welfare along with other expenses we would make a noticeable saving..Our government just cannot think,original thought is not something they are good at.Its an old boys club full of geriatrics and the same old back clappers who first got into government in the bertie/charlie haughey era,and it takes them ten years or more to admit to a scandal,and an expensive tribunal following.Why did anybody think enda kenny of FG would be any different,there all the same club corrupt to the core.Look at the ruari quinn incident where he was falsley claiming for travel expenses up to a couple of thousand euros.
by T Sat Mar 17, 2012 22:35
It is part of the 90 billion euro we owe. All this talk about dole cheats is designed to take the focus off the real culprits. If you consider how much cheating is costing the state and remember they are likely to be estimates and at the higher end for maximum effect, it is still very small change in comparison to the billions for the banks.

mary harney and ruari scamming for travel expenses why dont they sort them out first?
by whocanafford Sun Mar 18, 2012 11:14
what about people who simply cannot afford the new household tax charge?what will happen for them will they have to introduce an expensive allowance system,like they proposed for the water charge?
by sinead Sun Mar 18, 2012 11:18
where is our media backed platform for people who should not pay the household charge.Rte were all guns out for the population of ireland who were thinking of not paying up,carrying the threatening message from our govenrment that ''if we do not pay up we will get fined for a couple of thousand euros''..

..think that special focus should be put on the Labour party, who are supposed to inherit the mantle of Connolly?

We have no party of labour, the current obscenity possessing the name have long been Ireland's shittiest centre-right party - but this incarnation are beyond belief.

The Bill passed through various stages and these are listed here:
http://www.oireachtas.ie/viewdoc.asp?DocID=19733&&CatID...ing=0
And the final Act passed in Dec 2011 is available below.
Note: As far as I know a piece of legislation is referred to as a Bill before it is passed and while it can be amended and once passed, it is referred to as an 'Act'.
