The fact that you "can't be bothered" claiming your €100 rebate says a lot.I can't be bothered to return my form.
The looneys are staking an awful lot on a monster rally on December 10th. That is high risk for them. If they get their wish then it will be a very black day, a demonstration that mob rule is where we are at.

Watched the debate yesterday. The looneys are staking an awful lot on a monster rally on December 10th. That is high risk for them. If they get their wish then it will be a very black day, a demonstration that mob rule is where we are at.
What's remarkable is that the leadership of the whiskered brotherhood is both organising the populist campaign against water charges and saying that their members in Irish Water will go on strike if their bonuses are not paid.
Running with the hare and hunting with the hound
... or just hypocritical populists desperate to garner members to pay their €150'000 salaries.
Really? Does it say anything specific? I'm not bothered returning it for various reasons not least of which being that I'm not going to pay it. I'm opposed to direct water charges, though not ideologically opposed; I was open to persuasion but they failed on every level. I'll now take my chances as a holdout and expect that the Government's last throw of the dice will prove futile. Even those who will ultimately register, for whatever reason, should hold off until the new February deadline to give the Government a sweat over Christmas.The fact that you "can't be bothered" claiming your €100 rebate says a lot.

I never supported the bonus thing but I have to say I find it odd that Irish water can unilaterally change people's contracts but every time we hear about senior executives and large pay packets with excessive pensions, we get told about the legal sanctity of employment contracts that must be respected. Odd how ordinary people can be treated different to senior bankers and senior civil servants.

yeah but you no longer have provide your PPS number now....turns out its not really important anymore! you couldn't make this stuff upI really can't fathom people's difficulty with providing a Pps number.
I collect these from every one of my students - approx 180 of them every single year. In total my colleagues and I will collect close to 400 PPS numbers each year.
Some people do not want to pay for anything. They have a huge sense of entitlement. So be it. But I don't wish to reduce my standards as a consequence.
There are many of us who have signed up to pay 800,000 out of 1.3 m and I have no regrets.
I would like to see an equal sharing of the expenses incurred in running the country.
There are those who will never contribute to anything but I will not stoop to their level.

When you say worker do you mean employee?Delboy , the local authority workers under service level agreements will continue to work for & be managed by the 34 Local Authorities to which they report to & work for - I believe that such agreement expires in 2025 , apparently the average age of such workers is 49 !
Their terms & conditions remain unchanged - such workers are Irish Water employees but are effectively seconded back to the local authorities , the bonus system applies only to the 400 staff directly employed by Irish Water.
An absolute dog's dinner !
but the free water allowance is hardly relevant anymore given the amount of properties that wont have water meters and therefore wont have to conserve water! also if the small minority you speak of is actually so small, then how come the government caved so much?The PPS was important when they were basing the free water allowance on the numbers per house. But that reasonable approach has been chucked because of pressure from a small minority who shouted loudest
