Thread Name: BS: Domestic Rates Were Never Abolished in Ireland
Subject: BS: DOMESTIC RATE WERE NEVER ABOLISHED IN IR
There seems to be a myth that Haughey abolished domestic rates in Ireland,.He increased the rate of vat by 2 per cent while going through a charade of abolishing domestic rates, so there was no loss of revenue to the government at that time.
