ALMOST A THOUSAND householders have had their payments for the Household Charge rejected – because they were sent late and did not include the appropriate penalties.
Phil Hogan has confirmed that, as of earlier this week, 945 people have had their €100 payment returned by the Local Government Management Agency because they did not include an extra €13 to cover their late payments.
Households paying the charge after the original deadline of March 31 are liable to a €10 flat-rate penalty if paying within three months, as well as a 1 per cent interest per month for every month by which payment is delayed.
This means that anyone paying the charge within a month of the deadline is charged €111, while people paying in the second and third months are charged €112 and €113 respectively.
Therefore, while no breakdown of the 945 rejected payments is provided in Hogan’s response to parliamentary questions from Pearse Doherty, households could only have incurred a maximum late fee of €13 by this point.
Hogan said the Local Government Management Authority, which is responsible for administering the system, did not accept “household charge payments made after the 31 March deadline unless accompanied by the appropriate late payment fee and late payment interest.”
He added, however, that he had asked the LGMA to modify its payment system so that anyone paying the €100 charge after the deadline would have the €100 charge retained, “with appropriate follow up in respect of the collection of late payment penalties where due”.
Hogan stressed that the charge was run on a self-assessment basis and it was up to a homeowner to pay the charge or to register for a waiver, unless they were already specifically exempted from payment.
The most recent figures for the charge, published last Friday, showed a total of 942,204 households as having either paid for the charge or seeking a waiver. 805,569 of those properties had registered by the original March 31 deadline.
Sinn Féin’s environment spokesman Brian Stanley this week introduced legislation to the Dáil which would repeal the charge entirely. Fianna Fáil has tabled separate legislation which would extend the ‘original’ payments deadline until the end of September.

” linked to Islamic extremism.” – no, – just Islam.
Koran 9:5 – ‘ When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters (non-Muslims) wherever you find them.’
Stabbing two people in the name of Islam is Islamic extremism. Having a pray in a mosque is just Islam.
Two cheeks of the same ar$e Tuot tuot.
Not really, i couldnt care less about the non threat of moderate Muslims but i do worry about the threat of these jihadist islamist lunatics.
“Charles Martel” lmao!!!!!
More mental issues !
Roanoak Virginia is just ove 100 miles from Charlotte Virginia where that immigration Rackateer Khizr Khan lives and there are several Jihadi terror camps in Virginia-most infamous is Jamat al-Fuqra nr. Charlotte,VA. Khizr Khan ,of course ,would deny any knowledge of what has been going on under his crooked lawyer’s nose for years.

Patrick O’Rubbish,
When you saw “Islamic extremism” in the headline, I’d say you came a little bit!
Surely this bloke is before the courts but you can’t comment on pat hickey.

Allahu Aakbarr is not owned by headhackers….millions of mostly Sunni muslims exclaim Allahu Aakbar with no intent to sever a head from its accompanying shoulders…..
Not his fault. He was clearly hulking out.
I seriously doubt this has anything to do with Islam, probably just your standard domestic.
If u farted in confession the Fox Americans would claim you were a terrorist now. Still tho, farting in confession is bad form
Again The Journal leaves out pertinent information. He tried to behead at least one of the victims. He was on the radar, as he traveled to Turkey in the past year and may have attempted to enter Syria.
Just your average quiet minds his own business Muslim neighbour.
I’d say that investigating links to Bruce Banner might prove to be a more fruitful line of enquiry…..
Is Roanoke where the lost colony got lost?
Google it Dam – you’ve never heard of the place. But still can’t stop posting about it…
Yes indeed. Birthplace of the first white person born on US soul, Virginia Dare.
Why has Tariqs comment disappeared? In fairness there wasn’t anything unusual in what he said.
I’m sensing some trickery is afoot from the journal.
Tariq / Liam is that you masquerading as Eamon you are a sneaky little man aren’t you ?
Tariq / Liam is that you masquerading as Eamon you are a sneaky little man aren’t you ?
What did that filthy rat Tariq say Emma?
Eamon Mac Gowan’s real name is Liam Egan; an Irish Islamist living in Wexford.
So is it or isn’t it? Simple question.
That’s actually true Petr, about Eamon Mac Gowan / Liam Egan –
“Liam Egan is an Irish convert to the violent, oppressive, totalitarian form of Islam that makes up about 40 percent of Islam worldwide. The Islam of the Taliban, Hamas, Al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, Iran and Saudi Arabia. The Islam behind all the jihad terrorism in the world. The Islam behind all the sharia oppression in the world.
Liam Egan openly desires the end of all Irish freedom. Human rights would not exist in his Ireland. Instead we would all have to follow the dictates of some alleged holy book that we do not believe in.
For many years, Liam Egan has been running Internet sites trying to promote his disgusting ideas in Ireland. He has some supporters, but it is unclear how many. It may be wrong to give him such publicity, but I think his sites are worth replying to, because they illustrate very clearly everything that is wrong with Islam. To read Egan is to understand why the Islamic world is so impoverished, unemployed, violent, war-torn, dictator-ridden, oppressive, sex-starved, uneducated and angry. It is not because of “The West” or Israel. It is because of their own beliefs. It is because many millions in the Islamic world think as Egan does.”

You should let the Tibetans know. But I forgot, you don’t see anything wrong with the alienation of a people by another people…
