Household tax opponents rally support

People who are on the brink and can pay no more are “willing and ready to stand together” against the household charge, campaigners have claimed.

Opponents of the household charge are escalating their campaign to discourage people from paying as the deadline approaches.

With six weeks to go before householders who fail to meet the €100 charge risk of hefty fines, the Department of the Environment is posting leaflets to the country’s 1.6 million households advising them how to comply.
