Appreciate the legal nicety of how collection is 'free' - but that's actually bollocks isn't it. Nothings bloody free, so it is a double tax.

Also, there's no national insurance in Ireland is there? Which means your taxes are lower than the UK's - already some of the lowest in Europe. Even if I'm wrong about that, then your taxes are roughly the same as the UK, tho the cost of the NHS would add about 3% to total tax bills, iirr, to be roughly the same as the UK's (hope that makes sense). Also, corporate traxation is probably key - and there Irish tax levels are outrageously low.

as to the recycling plant, i read (since the other post) that it had actually been closed down last year, rather than was threatened with closure, and that it was the only such facility in the country.

if the campaign is defeated, the picture will get much worse as well. it is all about the run up tp privatisation, and getting more rubbish for bloody incinerators - and you couldn't get much more anti-green than them!
