    who the **** has been paying for water up till now? water plants and water haven't been invented in the last year?

    If our country was run the way it should be it would be the treatment we'd be paying for, not the water; but obviously this isn't even going to go towards improving water-related infrastructure, it'll just disappear.

    You got me hands up, I surrender, it is not a water tax, sorry.

    So I don't have to pay it now? Right?

    No of course you don't. But just don't expect the service. Same for gas, electricity etc

    Yes, over one billion euro is the estimated real costs of doing work that your local council has already done ~ we need to pay our CEO's massive money ~ like he has competition, FFS.

    Nope, 500 million. What's actually that tough about setting it up? Surely they could just follow Britain's example and set it up the same way they did?

    Do we? Where and how do we pay this? I've checked my pay slip and my tax returns and I see no mention of this Water tax.
    It's there, right under the Gardai tax, the hospital tax, the teachers tax, the nurses tax, the road tax, the fire brigade tax, the ambulance tax, etc.

    Hold it, no we just pay in lump sums and the government divides it up. For some reason they decided, over many years, to not spend the money on the water infrastructure. Doesn't mean that I didn't pay for it.

    What gets me is that Irish Water are only a billing company. The local councils are still going to be the people doing the actual work for the next twelve years. The same people who haven't been doing it properly up until now.

    A 'friend of mine' intends to fill the meter shore with concrete and thick plated steel, and won't pay 'his' bill. 'He' reckons it will be hilarious when they come out to cut 'him' off.

    Is treated water a natural resource?

    We want our money back. Nothing short of it.

    I don't think the small claims court will work for this, may have better luck in legal discussion or politics.
