Hi Marian,

I think you may have misunderstood the appeals process and I can see why it wasn’t considered a valid appeal. You can’t an appeal re the Revenue & Customers OMSP by giving evidence of sale in a UK based auction, as the UK OMSP price is not comparable with the Irish OMSP. For a valid appeal you need to provide evidence of the same, or very similar cars, currently for sale at a cheaper price in Ireland. Either on line or in forecourts. The onus is on you to provide evidence that on average your car for sale cheaper IN IRELAND than they are estimating as the OMSP.

Good luck,

Simon.

Hi,
I read your article on appealing VRT with interest, and prepared my appeal having imported a car from the UK on 20 July. My thesis was that the price I paid on-line on a web auction (supported by an invoice) is in fact the ‘open market selling price’. A web-market is a far more ‘open’ market than the closed market represented by the RoI’s network of car dealerships. My appeal was returned, I surmise unconsidered, within 24 hours of dispatch with the comment that it was not accepted for processing as an appeal. So, the vested interest that is the Irish Motor Trade Industry scores twice, first on the imposition of the tax at all,and secondly by constraining the definition of the ‘open market’ within which the OMSP should be estimated. Unbelieveable how we let them away with it.

Comment on Rebel cleric’s gay marriage will ‘infuriate’ church heads by Kilbarry1

Quote from article in http://www.irishsalem.com

“In January 2010 “Bishop” Pat gave an exclusive interview to the Sunday Tribune in which he proclaimed his “deep love” for his Filipino boyfriend Eduardo Yango (32) and announced that they would be married on 8 February. Other media were referred to Max Clifford, who was handling publicity surrounding the nuptials. His announcement received world-wide publicity – not least in his boyfriend’s homeland. However on the appointed day he had to announce a postponement. “We have had 10 days of intense media interest and, while I have been used to dealing with the media for 25 years, Eduardo has no experience of the media and has found the intrusion very stressful. He is also a very private person and comes from a culture in the Philippines where family and personal issues are handled very discreetly and privately.” (He had apparently forgotten to tell Edwardo about Max Clifford.) They were eventually married in March – albeith with much reduced media coverage.”

Bishop Pat’s love of publicity seems even deeper than his love for his partner. Did he not explain to him about Max Clifford?

What a great story! One minor comment –the following statement about the Philippines struck me as inaccurate. “The Philippines is where Ireland was decades ago – homosexuality is seen as virtually requiring execution,” Buckley said. Although LGBT persons do not have the same legal protections in the Philippines that they might have in other countries, the Philippines is, in many ways, more tolerant of expressions of homosexuality than many western countries. Violence against and harrassment of LGBT persons, while it does occur (as it does in most countries), is not extraordinarly widespread. While the Philippines has a high crime rate, there is no evidence to suggest that they are particularly targeted.

Comment on Want to save €62,000 in electricity and software costs? by "Open season to help save on IT spending" The Sunday Business Post covers Dublin software firm Openplain

Mon, 19 Apr 2010 15:42:10 +0000

[...] One of these major costs are IT, with companies paying for too much software that they don’t use, which can be a very expensive mistake to make. On average Openplain can IT software costs for companies by 25%; back in Novemember they estimated that a medium sized company of 100 employees could cut €42,00 per year in software costs alone: http://www.republicpr.ie/2009/11/24/save-fortune-electricity-costs/ [...]
