In fairness that would give the lie to the view that its all about conservation.
how did you come to think it was ever about conservation???? wake up!
So the metering is just all a ruse and your bill wont depend on how much water you use?
so those with no meter can use as much as they like but still only pay a set charge...im sure there will be quite a few hoses being passed over garden walls!So the metering is just all a ruse and your bill wont depend on how much water you use?
why don't the government at least call it what it is....another tax, and a jobs for the boys club!

I've finally decided that the course of least resistance is to engage with Irish Water, otherwise I'd be facing a €1200 yearly bill. By completing the form my bill will be €440 yearly (for two adults + children). The bill will be almost 60% above the €278 assessed/estimated charge because the free child allowance is insufficient.
Leo, you managed to make the waterhose passing comment look like a quote from me.
Is this a joke! Can you name one decent thing this government has done since it got into power? I cant but I can detail loads of instances where they have reneged on every single promise they made before the election. And if we had such fine leadership why is the leader hidden away ala North Korea.
+1i can vividly recall a time (vividly, because its not long ago at all) under the previous government when we couldnt borrow, we had the imf, the economy was in a bad way.
Now unemployment is falling (& employment is increasing - so its not just emigration), the economy is growing, we can borrow at rates as low as nil, we're replacing the most expensive of our debt, we're nearing the end of austerity. Plenty of reasons to be cheerful.
If irish people insist on punishing the current government for the hardship we had to endure then they are very short sighted indeed. Maybe you'll say the imf dictated all that was done, there's certainly something in that, but i dont think ml noonan has put a foot wrong - whether we get our 'special deal' or not wont be his fault.
Look at the alternatives, do you want ff back? - its only yesterday they were in a bunker with cowen ignoring the eu & yer wan from donegal mary.... Floundering around. Sf??, leave it out!, that's right lads, a 3rd rate of tax will fix everything - "the rich" should pay for everything, no need people to pay for services they consume .... And you're not allowed to mention to bodies people are still digging out of bogs....we're now sanctimonious and bearing the high moral ground. Wake up sf voters, you've had your protest, you dont really want to throw away the progress do you?, you're only hurting yourself.....
"p.s. bewildered by the level of support for SF, think the current government not getting enough credit. Steady hand on the tiller boys for the next few years. "
