Yeah i heard it mentioned in the Dail yesterday.
I think it's a great idea. 1.4Billion they say they will get from it.
Better than more income tax rises....or petrol hikes

Does seem a good way to collect a few bob alright and young people generally don't have much of a voice in this country so it should be reasonably hassle free to implement.

If I was in Govt I'd go for it. Of course if I was in Govt we wouldn't be in this position. We'd have invaded Switzerland long ago.

Apparently she got her calculations wrong :shock:

her figures would require a tax of 10c pet text and not 1c per text.

Isn't the metric system a bast*rd to get your head around.
