Not quite. No personal details of landlord nor tenant are published to the public.

The Final Update!

The same inspector just left my house about 5 mins ago, he had a quick look at where the cable from the satellite dish enters the house, asked me a couple of questions about my pc and xbox, looked at the connections on the back etc, and marked me down as not being liable to pay! Wooohoooo! As it happens he's actually quite a sound guy, my first impressions of him were a little off, chatted freely about his job for a few minutes, and some of the stuff he has to put up with. Not a job I'd do myself I think, haven't got the patience!

Anyways I was apologising for the part I played in kicking all this off, and joked that he'd probably be back later in the year when the new system comes in, but according to him the new system won't be anything like the current one, it's going to be a subsidy on every home regardless of whether you have a tv or broadband! Sneaky gits! He also reckons the job of collection and inspection will be taken away from An Post, but he stopped at that.

Maybe it is a fairer way of doing things, if the price doesn't soar that is......
