No increase in income tax says Mick Noonan. Out of what does he imagine people will pay their taxes? Perhaps he's sending a sapling to each family which when grown will produce 20 euro notes instead of leaves. Mick a mhic if it is a tax it is paid from our INCOME hence it is an income tax-unless you are a banker then its from someone elses income. That will be 3.6 billion please.
