Unfinished Ghost Estates and the Household Charge
We are still waiting for the list of unfinished estates that will be exempt from the 2012 Household Charge.
The total number of estates is expected to be less than 1300. The Irish Independent seems to think it will be less than 300 estates.
It is important to note – that even if your house is in one of the infamous Unfinished Estates – you still need to register for the Household Charge and then claim the exemption. If you don’t register you could be fined.
If you live in a dwelling that is not permanently attached to the ground – i.e a boat or a caravan – you do not need to register it for the household tax.

Tipperary lags behind in Information Technology
The town of Tipperary is behind the rest of Ireland when it comes to Information Technolgy. Census 2006 figures showed that just 11.4% of Tipperary households had broadband and 71.84% of households had no internet access at all. This is the highest percentage of any town in Ireland (National average 51.7%)
Also – just 36.35% of households owned a personal computer compared to the national average of 53.5%.
The high proportion of rented accommodation might be one of the reasons for these figures.
