press release
Monday May 27, 2013 20:00 by Turing - Campaign Against Home & Water Taxes ( CAHWT )
The CAHWT today responded to a claim by Revenue spokesperson, Vivienne Dempsey, that payment of the property tax is "inevitable". "This is the week in which Ireland has been exposed as a global tax haven for the richest corporations on the planet and where Oxfam estimates that €700 billion could be stashed away in Irish accounts to avoid tax elsewhere." |

Jump To Comment: 1 2Article 43 protects private property, and previous constitutional cases against governmental imposition of tariffs on private property have been successful. In addition, the Constitution says in Article 40 that a “dwelling is inviolable”. The lack of a constitutional challenge to a tax on private property shows the high price of litigation these days and why justice for the ordinary people, whether it is constitutional, legal, or social, is out of reach.
Article 43 also allows for restrictions and "delimits" private property where there is a pressing public need to do so.
That is how CPOs are issued frequently with little or no fuss.
Why no legal limits on rents, to meet the pressing public need in the commercial and residential sector?
Ah but that would trouble the waters for the landlord and gombeen class who are thriving at the Nama auctions etc.
Keep that out of the mainstream media at all costs.
For the golden circle it remains a "great little country"
