A great article by Charlie Weston which puts the negotiations for the new government into some sort of perspective.
The great rip-off: how banks are fleecing us
"
Water costs just a drop in the ocean compared to variable mortgage rates.
This country would break your heart.
For the two months since the general election, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have argued over water bills.
The cost for a year of the bills Irish Water has issued is €260 for a family. When you take account of the conservation grant, the net cost is even lower.
The rip-off on variable rate mortgages amounts to €2,500 a year. And this issue affects some 300,000 families."
