    You do know you can have your own protest right?

    Just go down to your local TD's office and tell him you dont like him, or stand outside with a sign.

    Even better is emails. Send them loads of emails.
    Use various email accounts and send to multiple TDs.

    Emails are votes.

    Especially send emails to TDs who are in a precarious position in your constituency e.g. elected in the last few counts or is a new TD.
    The replies can be funny too.

    Who's advocating violence? It does not take all of your 3 braincells to realise things are boiling over, Gardai throwing young girls into kerbs and pepper spraying young kids and if that continues the streets will get messy, As for tv licence, i will never pay to watch the crap on rte, What have they got to offer, Daily coverage of kissing the governments backside, Not for me thank you, Another 160 saved this year, Add that on top of the other 160 I will save by not paying IW, Come to think of it FG and Lab were right, Their is a way of saving when you put your mind to it

    Well you specifically asked which politician should get a dig first, thats advocating violence is it not? Also get with the times the woman has made a statement she was not thrown into anything.

    I had to look up the word plebiscite as I hadn't a notion!

    plebiscite (ˈplɛbɪˌsaɪt; -sɪt)
    n
    1. (Government, Politics & Diplomacy) a direct vote by the electorate of a state, region, etc, on some question of usually national importance, such as union with another state or acceptance of a government programme
    2. (Government, Politics & Diplomacy) any expression or determination of public opinion on some matter

    I'm guessing that the only difference between it and referendum is that it doesn't get written into the constitution?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,065 ✭✭✭crazygeryy


    Prsi,usc,vhi,property tax,land tax,motor tax,gift tax,excise tax,corporation tax, stamp duty tax,car insurance, house insurance, nct tax,dirt tax and the list goes on.feel free to add to it.
    So no, the answer is no we don't want another tax, which is all it is.
    Just dont pay it no matter how small they make it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 671 ✭✭✭Benteke


    She's making a complaint, Watch the video all that page does is confirm it, we seem to have a few slow folk on here, i better remove myself before I get banned, Bring on Dec 10th when the people come together

    NO TO WATER CHARGES

    What services would you like cut so that we can balance the books? Country is still running at a deficit and we're borrowing to keep the lights on.

    Social welfare needs looking at tbh. I know that's a popular topic here but it really does need reining in.

    She specifically states she was not thrown into a kerb on purpose and it was the guard attempting to stop her being harmed, also she said she possibly will make a complaint there's no definite about it.

    You really should read it entirely without blanking out the parts you dont like

    An anti-water charge protester is set to lodge a complaint against Gardai after she was thrown towards a bollard.

    Fiona Healy, 33, from Baldoyle in Dublin, was grabbed and forcibly removed by officers after heading towards Enda Kenny's car at an anti-water charge demonstration at Dublin's Mansion House on Sunday.

    In a video that surfaced on Facebook, gardai were shown pulling Fiona away from the Fine Gael leader's vehicle and apparently flinging her towards a bollard.

    The clip cuts away at the moment of supposed impact but Fiona is shown on the ground at the bollard a second later.

    Speaking today, she said she planned to raise the matter with the Garda Siochana Ombudsman Commission, which deals with complaints about gardai.

    She told RTE Radio One she was "quite badly bruised" on the hip.

    Is this another thread about water charges or is there some other tax being introduced? I've not been living in Ireland these last few years so I'm a little out of the loop and the OP is not exactly coherent and informative.

    Apt user name there, Crazy Gerry.

    Is it yea?


  • Registered Users Posts: 671 ✭✭✭Benteke


    I will leave it at that, Dec 10th, Everyone come out, People power will win out and we together will bring this corrupt government to it's knees

    NO TO WAYER CHARGES EVER


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,551 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    Seems that as long as someone has no intention of selling their house they will get away with not paying, IW aren't going to take thousands of people to court.

    Nothing to do with the fact that an election is only just over a year away...

    Irish water has now replaced Oliver Cromwell,as the most hated two words in Irish history.

    The question that needs to be asked is why don't they want a referendum on the issue? We are due a referendum shortly so why not add it to that?

    Some might say that this government want/need to leave the possibility of a sale open


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,065 ✭✭✭crazygeryy


    It's about another tax being introduced. Ie water. We are swimming in the effing stuff.

    Seriously aren't people pissed off with this.

    Kenny on Oireachtas TV now.. opened with the "reasonable people" bit they've been peddling the last few days again of course.

    He is so wooden it's hard to tell him from the bench he's standing behind - the usual monotone reading from the script without any attempt to address the points raised beforehand.

    Reference to inheriting the mess.. check. Good thing this isn't a drinking game!
