Dunno if you’ve been informed already or even care that much but the Household Charge website seems to be having trouble handling the amount of traffic coming its way over the last while. I’ve been trying to create an account on the site for the last day or so and every time I finish the registration form I’m met with the error message “there was an issue processing your request”. Some on boards.ie are suggesting that it’s an issue in relation to their server capacity which seems a bit mad given the fact the if you are rolling out a charge aimed at 1.6 million households or whatever then you would expect their website to be able to handle the pressure.
Maybe shitloads of peeps are desperate to pay the charge before March 1. Either way, I’m going on my tea break.
