and from your Bank Account....

THE taxman will have the power to take money out of the bank accounts of people who do not pay the new property tax, Revenue has confirmed.

And the tax officials will not have to get a court order before telling a bank to give Revenue money from the bank account of a non-compliant property taxpayer.

Come back King John..... all is forgiven.

King John

King John was born in 1167 and died in 1216. Like William I, King John is one of the more controversial monarchs of Medieval England and is most associated with the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215.

John was born on Christmas Eve, the youngest son of Henry II and his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine. As a child, John tended to be overshadowed by is older brother Richard. Like his father, John developed a reputation for violent rages which lead to him foaming at the mouth. Henry left no land to John when he died so John was given the nick-name John Lackland. In 1189, all of Henry's territory went to his oldest son, Richard I, better known as Richard the Lionheart.

In 1191, Richard left England to embark on the Third Crusade. He left John in charge of the country. John's reputation as a leader had been severely dented as far back as 1185 when Henry II sent him to Ireland to rule. John proved to be a disaster and within six months he was sent home.

In 1192, Richard was imprisoned by Duke Leopold of Austria as he returned from the Crusades. John tried to seize the crown from his brother but failed. In 1194, when Richard finally returned to England, John was forgiven by his brother.

In 1199, Richard was killed in France and John became the king of England. His reign started in an unfortunate way. In 1202, John's nephew, Arthur of Brittany, was murdered. Many in Brittany believed that John was responsible for his murder and they rebelled against John. In 1204, John's army was defeated in Brittany and John had no choice but to retreat. His military standing among the nobles fell and he was given a new nickname - John Softsword. The defeat in north France was a major blow for John and a costly one. To pay for the defeat, John increased taxes which was not popular with anybody other than John and his treasurers.

John also succeeded in falling out with the pope in 1207. John quarreled with the pope over who should be Archbishop of Canterbury. The pope excommunicated John and put England under a Church law that stated that no christening or marriage would be legal until the time the pope said that they would be. Church law said that only christened people could get to Heaven while children born out of marriage were doomed to Hell. This placed people in England under a terrible strain and they blamed one person for this - John.

In 1213, John had to give in and surrender the spiritual well-being of the whole country to the pope. However, the pope never fully trusted John and in 1214, the pope proclaimed that anybody who tried to overthrow John would be legally entitled to do so. In the same year, John lost another battle to the French at Bouvines. This defeat resulted in England losing all her possessions in France. This was too much for the powerful barons in England. In 1214, they rebelled.

John was forced to sign the Magna Carta at Runnymede in 1215. This guaranteed the people of England rights that the king could not go back on. In 1216, John tried to go back on the Magna Carta but this only provoked the barons into declaring war on him. Because of the war harvests were destroyed, the price of grain rose and half of England was starving. By 1216, John was ill. During the war, he suffered from dysentery. He also lost all of his treasure when he tried to take a shortcut across a stretch of water in the Wash, Lincolnshire. As the tide rose faster than he expected, his baggage train was engulfed. Just a few days later, John died. Some said he was poisoned by monks in a monastery that he took refuge in....... the monks said he died from eating too many peaches ...... and others said he died of a broken heart .... because he lost all his treasure.

MKM .... the Minister for Communications Mr. Pat Rabbitte speaking on television recently told Vincent browne that elections promises are just things you do during elections. The Government told blatent lies in the election. The People dumped Fianna Fail believing what Fine Gael and The Labour swore they would do or in some cases not do if they wre elected.

For Example .... The Minister for Education signed a pledge at the Gates Of Trinity College in front of thousands of students saying he would not increase Student Fees. The he increased Student Fees. Fine Gael promised that they would not intoduce Property Tax. They did. They also said that they would not legislate for abortion. They are now going to introduce it. Leo Varadkar Minister for transport said "not one more red cent" would be given to Anglo Irish Bank. They gave them 3.1 Billion. The Labour party promised that there would be no cuts in Child Benefit. Child Benefit has been cut twice since the Government came into power, The Taoiseach gave a personal Guarantee to a little girl with no arms and no legs that he would protect spcial welfare payents to the disabled. He introduced cuts to benefits for the disabled. The Taoiseach gave a personal guarantee not to close Roscommon hospital. He closed it. etc etc etc.


Nobody represents the people.

As for the Revenue taking money out of Bank Accounts ....... that's never been done before. Normally the revenue will get a court order and can have you committed to prison if you don't pay up.

This will propably be decided by the Courts. I reckon someone will take an injunction against the Revenue to stop them from entering their bank account.

id imagine the banking legislation would have covered that.....but hey they seem to be doing exactly what they want lol........

Those who might represent the people unfortunately have no power against the major parties. But hey, the people deserve what they get when the latest polls show FF in the lead and rising!!!! The Irish certainly don't have a brain like an elephant...only 2 years since FF ousted by landslide!!!!!

My brother in America can't come home for holiday this year again, and he couldn't last either. Too many taxes he said. He pays property taxes along with state and federal taxes and social security taxes, yet ex_pats come on forums like this one and tell us we are all to blame for electing the government that's in. It was the government crippled who crippled the country so what's the answer, bring in the British to run things when they are out the door trying to survive themselves.
Is there an element of looking down on the old sod Micks here? The stupid ones who pay their fair share and more of taxes. I think so.
My brother would love to move back but the value of his house in a lovely town in America has gone down so much, he is crippled. So it's not just Ireland that's suffering.
