...all Irish households face a new £257 property tax from 2012

So they really did, but to right direction. But this is completely ridiculous, a flat tax? That is not a "property tax." These neoliberals are really just charlatans.

The minimum wage decrease was reversed by the new government. Not sure what's happening on the property tax front.

The troika only care that we (implausibly) balance the budget, not really about the details of how we do it.

Around here it seems quite differently. They even changed things like mobile phone contracts (actually a nice change - enlightened dictatorship).

Liberalized (private) job market: Easier to fire.

And so on.
