    Tax on fags gone up 50%. Anyone know how this translates into real numbers? :(

    Not official, but just did a search and the excise duty on cigs in Ireland is 60% of the cost of a pack.

    So, on 7.50 a pack, that means that the excise duty is 4.50.

    And if excise duty is to go up by 50%, then that means that fags are going up c. 2.25 a pack.

    I'm sure he said that excise duty was going up by 50% and not 50 cent.

    I'd swear he said 50% not 50c re. the tobacco but irishtimes.com says 50c too so maybe I'm wrong... I hope I'm wrong...

    Thats why those greedy ****ing petrol stations didn't drop the prices, they knew this ****wit would hike them up again in the budget.

    So far all I'm seeing is pensioners and dole spongers being looked after, while everyone else gets ****ed.

    **** carbon footprints, I'd be more concerned about my finances than the ****in environment at this stage.

    He keeps saying he's looking after the vulnerable. He really means he's looking after the people that contribute **** all to this country.

    The more I watch, the more I feel a sequel to Falling Down coming on.....
