Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4John, you should learn a bit more about rural Ireland before you post nonsense.
why do people insist on posting this type of nonsense? It makes Indymedia look very bad.
Today's Irish independent web site carries an article in which it states that Neil blaney has publicly defended the tax dodging Donegal Farmers and businessmen,some of whom have had to sell their farms to pay bills fo a lifetime of ducking and diving.This may be an election stratagem butLets face it ,the big farmers ,businessmen etc,never thought that the chickens would come home to roost-but Bertie's Revenue Boys are roosting the lot of them and they are squeeling like stuck pigs.
Taxes were too high for sure-and only the P.A.Y.E. paid them for the past 30 years-so it's a bit of a shock for everybody(including me).That's life .as the criminals say;'If you do the crime -do the time!'
Less complaining now,-farms for sale indeed! Can one believe that a tax dodger owes so much money as to have to sell his farm?why not get a loan from your friendly bank manager to pay Bertie's 'Tax Regulators'?
The 'Fianna Fail Spin ;of last week (sex,lies and videotape)released to the newspapers indicating that Ireland would be seeking a derogation(that means cop-out)from the European Nitrates directive whereby farmers pollute our nations drinking water by poisoning it,-has been cancelled.Responding to my E-mail ,a copy of which is above Mr Walsh released the following amended press statement today;-
THE Irish Government faces fines of up to €50,000 a day, and the EU payments of €1.7bn to farmers may be vulnerable, if a plan to tackle pollution from farming is not submitted to Brussels by July, Agriculture Minister Joe Walsh warned yesterday.
A European Court of Justice ruling in March means Ireland has no choice but to implement the 1991 Nitrates Directive in full, Mr Walsh said at his department's annual review. "If we don't, it will have serious consequences. Our direct payments of €1.7bn could be put in a vulnerable situation," he said.
Most of the country's 130,000 farmers would already be compliant and only 10,000 would have a problem, Mr Walsh added.
Our thanks to Joe Walsh for his amazingly fast change of heart on this important issue to those of us who who drink ....-water!
However it looks like it's still curtains for the evil Judge,Bertie's boys are assembling a formidable posse of bounty hunters to hunt him down .....and save him from a lynch mob of the local sheep -sh***ers in the kerry mountains.
