Does that mean the purchaser will have to pick up the bill ?
Isn't that the Socialist waySUCH a charmer ... leaving someone else to pay his bills.
Time for a new keyboard methinksBY THE WAY, MY CAPITAL LETTERS BUTTON IS STUCK SO DON'T GO TELLING ME TO STOP SHOUTING.
It isn't anything to do with begrudgery, Paul (Silverspoon) Murphy has put other people with far less acumen and resources in untenable positions by poisoning their minds with his falsehoods. And when it suits him - he changes his position. He would not be quick to support other people.I DON'T SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS HERE, BUT IT SEEMS SOME PEOPLE WHO PAY THEIR WATER CHARGES WOULD LIKE EVERYONE TO DO THE SAME AND NOT BE KICKING AGAINST THE SYSTEM. SO WHAT IF HE PAID IN ORDER TO SELL A PROPERTY?
WE'VE BECOME A GREAT NATION OF BEGRUDGERS AND DO GOODERS.
Isn't that the Socialist way
Paul Murphy admits he paid property tax to sell house
The Dublin South-West deputy, who publicly tore up his property tax form in 2013, paid the tax last May on an apartment in Ballinteer, South Dublin when he sold it for €255,000.
Speaking to The Irish Times, Mr Murphy said he was forced to pay the tax against his will to be able to sell his apartment and move to his new home in Kingswood, Tallaght.
“The boycott was broken by the measures introduced to tackle the campaign.”
However, Mr Murphy says he did not pay his water charges before moving out.
“I successfully sold without paying,” he said.
Actually neither response was actually sarcastic - though mine could be deemed borderline, it was meant in a light-hearted way. If you are finding you can't type normally in lower case (and you haven't yet located a new keyboard) then as already advised holding down the Shift key will change the letters to lower case (basically it reverses the caps lock setting for the letter you choose to hold it down for)SADLY, MY CAPITAL LETTER BUTTON IS BROKEN, BUT THANKS TO THE FEW FOR THE SARCASM
AT LEAST MURPHY AND OTHERS STOOD UP TO OUR LYING GOVERMENT WHO WENT BACK ON PRACTICALLY ALL THE PROMISES THEY WERE ELECTED ON. WE ALL KNOW PEOPLE WHO HAVE TOLD LIES AT TIMES, BUT THIS GOVERMENT HAVE DOCTORATES IN LYING. VERY FEW FAMILIES HAVE ESCAPED SUICIDES, EMIGRATION, DIVORCE, SEPERATION, DEATH, ROBBERY, INJURY, POVERTY, UNEMPLOYMENT, ETC, BECAUSE OF ENDA AND HIS COHORTS. WE HAVE SHORT MEMORIES. WE'RE TOLD THEY'RE RIDING HIGH IN THE POLLS BUT SOMEHOW I CAN SEE THOSE POLLS BEING LAUGHED AT WHEN IT COMES TO THOSE DAMAGED PEOPLE USING THEIR VOTE. TIME, LIKE IT ALWAYS DOES, WILL TELL
Paul is a great guy.
The majority of people on our little shamrock dont want the charges fact.

Alternatively, if that is too much trouble (and you are using a PC) type your response into a Word document, select the text and press Shift + F3 button. It will change the text to sentence case.
Firstly, Paul Murphy is hardly someone to hold up as a paragon of honesty. He is using people's anger to benefit himself and his cronies. I have no faith in his ability to deliver anything other than a nice fat paycheque to himself (and let's face it, he has managed that admirably).
Secondly, it is a little difficult to back up your claim that "Enda and his cohorts" are solely, entirely or even ostensibly responsible for "suicides, emigration, divorce, separation, death, robblery, injury, poverty, unemployment, etc". They inherited a mess, not just as a result of previous governments but as a result of factors entirely outside of Irish control. They can be held responsible for what they did (e.g. pension levy) and for what they didn't do, but to start blaming everything on them is ridiculous. What they did do was make some incredibly difficult decisions, they chose unpopular policies instead of the craven "everyone else will pay" politics of Paul Murphy and his cohort.

<sigh> He is using people's anger to forward his daft cause. He wants "revolution" - a socialist utopia, a new world order... All harking back to new notions trotted out 200 or so years ago that have repeatedly been tried and always fail because Utopia only works (and at that only barely works for a short time) on small projects. It quickly grows unmanageable and we end up with such successful regimes as USSR and North Korea.How is Murphy using peoples anger to benefit himself. Would that benefit involve Gardai calling in the early hours to arrest you.Facing into Court Case etc.
Ah the hypocrisy of assumed poverty. Gerry and Mary Kangaroo trot that one out too. Saintly they are. Martyrs to the cause. Pray tell, how does one manage to purchase any property in Ballinteer or Kingswood with a gross income, or a net income for that matter, of €22000pa? There is a song about that one. Jarvis Cocker sang it. The Pulp classic - Common People According to relatively recent rumour the muse of that particular piece is none other than the wealthy and privileged wife of a former Greek Finance minister. Looks like she found a kindred soul that understands how hard it is to play at being poor.2. What fat pay cheque? He takes the wage of a youth worker 22000 euro. Not really a fat pay cheque by any standards.
3. Chopra was back in town and in his view was there was an option to burn senior bond holders. He clearly stated that Ireland got a very bad deal from our European family.
4. Of course there had to be pain but every study has shown clearly that the lowest payed= payed the most for mistakes of the past.
5. I personally dont like a lot what the likes of Murphy or the likes of Wallace have to say but at least they stick to their principals and thats good whether one likes them or not.
