Any chance of a Pensioner ringing in to say

Paddy O'Gorman was on Pat Kenny this morning doing a vox pop from (I think) Rathmines P.O. Most people were happy to pay it, it was also pointed out that over 75% of people will pay nothing.

Any chance of this showing up on Duffy ? I doubt it.

The gov have now managed to get at the grey haired section of our community. Once this whole system is enacted the old age pensioners are on the ropes. Doomed I say

This wan will have no problem. Imagine her walking into the Revenue Commissioners and bending some poor f*ckers ear for an hour.

Probably come out with a Tax Rebate.

Oh Joe, your silly questioning is beyond ridiculous at this stage.

Really annoying that people are complaining about the wording of the letter. I mean, it's a letter being sent to 100000 people, do they really want resources wasted on personalising them?
