You know thats a fair point. Iā€™ve updated the link to the direct source and minimised the noise and diverse opinions so that you are protected from such damaging verbose.

Regarding Irish politicsā€¦ Any opinion on yet another Minister failing to get their Depts to step up and implement policys and controls in a timely fashion? or is your purpose on this board purely DEI policing?

Update here.

So the Soc Dems agreed with SF not to raise property tax, caving into them. Meanwhile Labour and the Greens have gone off and negotiated to do so with FF and FG.

Iā€™m ok with LPT going up to improve services for Dublin. Thereā€™s surely lots of opportunities to spend money and improve the city.

They can fuck right off though that a % of increased LPT in Dublin is siphoned off to other councils who minimise their LPT.

A good article if lacking a bit of balance.

On this, interesting to see the numbers in action

In 2022 the 4 Dublin councils (Dublin, DLR, South Dub and Fingal) raised ā‚¬204 million in LPT

They had to pay 20% to other counties ie ā‚¬41 million

Then, they had to pay 43% or ā‚¬88 million to ā€œreplace central funding for roads, housing etcā€. The same counties that already are getting the 20% from Dublin do no get hit with this.

After all that only 37% of the LPT collected from Dubliners is available for ā€œown useā€ ie for projects and services for the betterment of the locality.

37%!!! Thatā€™s a sham

ā€˜But but but those lot up in Dublin get everythingā€¦.ā€™

For context, Mayo LPT payers paid ā‚¬10.5m and got ā‚¬19.8m for ā€œown-useā€

Dubliners get 37% of their LPT and Mayo payers get 189%
