I dont think they have... I just think the papers have cottoned on to the fact that when taxes increase in 2016 it may coincide with Fine Gael going to the polls for a General Election.

And possibily lead to an even bigger implosion that already thought.

This property tax implications of 2016 are media driven, not people driven.
