Was there ever a descendant of Jim Larkin's on the Liveline?

And what did he sound like?

I would love to see Joes face, if for some reason Sinn Fein happened to be in government for the 1916 celebrations:D

The whole "invite a Royal" was just some remark Inda Kinny made to make himself look like an accomplished statesman.

It's completely backfired.

Again, it's a bloody allowance, not your quota for the year !

Roger_007

The 30,000 ltrs is the amount you get FREE, you muppet.......!

JM Skipton

Is it not just a complete waste of time talking about this until the price per litre is announced? Why worry people with speculation until we have the exact figure

When I lived in England my water bill used to be around 300 every couple of months, 4 months I think. It didn't take long to get into the habit of turning off the tap when brushing teeth!

bottlebrush

Why don't these people just get it... they just need to change their habits.

Hope you flush after doin that job in her bathroom.

I lived in Australia and you get very canny with saving water when you pay through the nose for it. I never let the tap run to wash my teeth - I use a cup

Some beers taste like they've been used for that.

JM Skipton

Liveline listeners just need to get rid of sky sports and that saving will pretty much cover the water charge.....problem solved

bottlebrush

Put a brick in, before you brick it...

So everyones house will be stinking cause they won't flush the loo, they will all be smelly in work and on the bus because they won't have showers, ugggg I'm dreading it.

If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down

Roger_007

My toilet uses 4 ltrs per flush.......why are these people talking about 12 ltrs?

To me, it's the most obvious thing to do, before they even thought of bringing in water charges.

There was some charlatan "consumer expert" from the Herald on Matt Cooper last night talking about how people will now have to think about turning off the taps when they wash their teeth and shave.

WTF, if you leave the tap running while shaving you deserve to be paying a penal amount on top of your regular water charge.

Hope Rose isn't paying Peter by the hour.

New business opportunity for Ben Dunne.....teaching people how to use the toilet economically?

pc7

It is a killer when you think of all the new charges the last few years, now I know country folk paid lots of these before but I never had too, but when you list all the expenses these days its a killer :-

* bin charges (all its done is gone up)
* property tax (will only go one way)
* water charges (will only go one way)
* PRSI (while I always paid it it doesn't even cover getting a clean and polish anymore)
* TV license (this is the bill I hate paying more than any other)
* Universal Social Charge (go figure!)
* Levies on insurance policies

it really is a killer
