    Personal Tax Credits down 180

    according to my calculations I'm down another €1500 a year, but hey the ministers took a €10k paycut, so all is grand, wonder when they'll sneak in the matching increase in their unvouched expenses.

    This is ridiculous...they don't seem to be telling the whole story on RTE at least. I can't use the video player...Hadn't heard about them increasing the distance for non-adjacent grants, income levy is going up?...it's worse than I had thought so...

    I thought it was just going to 2006 levels? Is it? or is it higher?

    Interesting enough, but working off pre-budget assumptions, which they promise to update later this evening. According to it, I'm down about €110 a month.

    I hate to say it, but he's right. She is talking a load of shíte now. Focusing now on the past and talking about ghost estates. She is not discussing anything of relevance and/or a way to fix it... just complaining about how things were done.

    Sinn Fein are after this i think.

    Fair play to Joan, she's used all of her 40 minutes. Pity most of it had to do with The World War, High School Musical and Japan!
