dublin / bin tax / household tax / water tax / news report Monday January 16, 2006 16:34 by Bin Tax Campaigner
 7 comments (last - sunday april 06, 2008 14:37)
Last week DCC claimed that 95% of households have paid the Bin Tax. Today they claimed it was 80%. Here are the accurate figures as provided in a reply to Cllr. Joan Collins (Ind.). Waiver: 40,000 households Fully Paid: 35,000 households Not paid/Arrears: 36,000 households So over half the households due to pay have not paid the tax in full or have not paid at all. This does not take into account the fact that many households have withdrawn from the service (one quarter nationally) and that rates of non-payment are much higher than average in working class areas of the city. Check Indymedia for info on public meetings throughout Dublin this week. read full story / add a comment

Last month's Phoenix ran an interesting story indicating that the CIA are / were also using Baldonnel to refuel the aircraft that are used for their "extraordinary renditions". In the most recent January edition, the Phoenix reports that G2 (defence forces intelligence) have been trying to discover the source of this information rather than investigate the flights themselves. Since this information is not available elsewhere online, it has been reprinted here in the public interest. read full story / add a comment

Ms. Justice Macken is due to decide today on costs arising from Eoin Dubsky's failed legal challenge to US military refueling in Ireland. On December 13th she returned the High Court's judgement, denying that a "war" is an "armed conflict", and thus Ireland cannot be said to be "participating in war". Furthermore it is sufficient for the government to make Government policy verbally, never writing down what exactly it is they have decided to do. read full story / add a comment

:-) its a Sunday, and that means "mass" things. & in Chile the mass did the voting thing, and because it is a *legal obligation* of Chilean citizenship when in residence and of suffrage age to vote... Thus there really isn't a "not vote" count. But over 200,000 people have presented their documents in Chilean police stations today to prove they were more than 200km from their polling point. Considering Chile is a country which stretches for over 6,340 kilometres in length, its quite easy to dodge the polls. read full story / add a comment

Social cohesion has never been more fragile than in the present. Developing an effective survival strategy in an age of bankrupt ideologies (political and other) is a challenging but not impossible task. All known political ideologies have failed or are failing (including capitalism). The lack of viable alternatives betrays a beaten and retractive population not a shortage of options. read full story / add a comment

The management of the Jutrzenka factory- a popular producer of sweets - has dismissed Dariusz Skrzypczak, the chairman of the Solidarity trade union in Goplana company in Poznan (Poland) (from January 2005 owned by Jutrzenka). He was fired on disciplinary grounds for the interview published in local press. Although Skrzypczak had only confirmed the fact that Jutrzenka had introduced new conditions of wages, which are unfavorable for most of the workers of Goplana, the management of the plant acknowledged those words as harmful to the company. It is the second attempt to fire Skrzypczak - the first one took place at the beginning of year 2005. read full story / add a comment |
