    Drink up hopefully not too much,
    Hope Ciggies double in price I only smoke when i drink and anything over a tenner will make me quit for good...

    The scratcher will prob come down to €200,

    Have no idea what he will do to income tax... Won't be decreasing it anyway that's for sure...

    Has anyone heard about the stupid tax on text messages 1c per text, will this apply if you don't pay for texts..

    I dont think putting smokes up will be any help cause it will only increase cross border buyin!!
    Pubs will feel the pinch id say cause people are drinking at home more now.

    They will take from everyone and protect themselves. The thought of Bertie getting a pension of 160,000 and payed what about 120,000 and the likes of the FAI bringing him on expenses payed fun trips away and all talk that we are going to make him the next President of Ireland so he can take more money. I know that at the end of the day I will have a pain in my head with it all. If they started with the wealthiest and took less as they moved down and I'm not in the bottom but I think the poorer workers will be fleaced more to pay those lazy few that didn't work in the good times. And the high earners and those in Government are among them will barely feel what the loose - very little .. . . stop now . . . . .deep breath . . . .

    all the reports indicate this,

    possibility of a new tax band for higher earners but it will take time for this to be put in place

    They can't adjust the tax brackets at the moment so they'll hit us by taking the levy up to 3% at least. The old reliables will be hit but not by as much as people expect, because everyone will go blackmarket for the fags and drink. Petrol and Diesel will be hit. Childrens allowance will be reduced....clean out of the junior ministers(and about time too)

    I reckon it time for everyone to grab their ankles and assume the position because Biffo and co are coming to f*ck us up the arse
