Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10as I am listening to RTE radio one now. a representative of the council is saying the water charges should never have been stopped and should be brought back.
the whole theme of the interview seems to be poor officials trying to do there jobs while idiot residents who just don't understand get in the way.
There was no rep from our side!
Just makes me more angry!
Yes, I heard that. He also questioned whether people would also want the tv licence abolished.
As a politician would say: "I'm glad you asked me that". Since he has put that idea into my head maybe he has a point. Maybe we should ask ourselves: "Does RTE measure up to being 'The National Broadcasting Station'?" It certainly does not present a balanced view of what goes on in Ireland.
Maybe we *should* be calling for the abolition of the tv licence?
you're right. but be more precise. it's not just TV license, do you pay for BBC?
TV is toxic.
stop TV. punto.
iosaf
"by the way" asked about the BBC. There was a time when we got the beeb for free, that was when everyone had aerials on their chimneys. Nowadays most of us either have cable, or satelite, and when we pay the cable company etc. I presume they pass some of it on to the stations they carry.
Incidently, if these cable or satelite companies are carrying RTE, I would assume that RTE get something for it. so are we paying twice for our TV programs? as well as for our bin collections.
Or maybe we are paying three times, since we are buying the products advertised on RTE?
At least the BBC don't carry advertising, but I'm sure the news is just as distorted as on RTE, or any other "National Broadcaster", (i.e. State Broadcaster)

Anti-waste charge protesters held a demonstration outside the Dublin City Council depot in Rathmines this morning, causing bin lorries there to be delayed by about an hour.
From today, the Council says it will not collect rubbish from householders who have not paid their charges in the Dublin 4, Dublin 6 and Dublin 6 west areas.
Meanwhile, a Fingal County Council bin lorry has been prevented from leaving a housing estate in Santry for a fifth consecutive day....
BIN CHARGES
BIN CHARGES
How we link up the struggle against the bin s bycharges with all workers is by saying that the abolition of bin charges in Dublin will end ALL bin charges nationally and therefore all workers.
Also the mobilisation of working class communities against the most unpopular goverment for years will moblise masses of people
All parties on the left who are only giving token support will be forced to give active support because what the people are saying is LET THE RICH PAY
why not? would anyone suggest that there should be a newspaper license, that it would be illegal to buy papers unless you had bought a license/ and all the money raised would go to the state newspaper?!
public broadcasting should be defended, but it should be provided for from general taxation.
public broadcasting should not encompass making millionaires of joe duffy, gerry ryan, pat kenny etc.
don't mentioned that bearded bastard joe duffy, the most hateful figure to fraternise the airways...... ever.
Stupid, stupid small minded aul wan, gobshite, fat headed fool.
go way yeah, can't believe its not butter, go way yeah,
SHAME ON YOU BALLYFERMOT!
We had a huge turn out for our bin tax meeting and over 600 - 700 and the same number for the march organised by the local campaign and an hour blockade of the local bin route so theeerrre
