    Unfortunatley there's always been a minority who are willing to parasite off the rest of society - or at least willing to claim they will.
    .

    The only parasites are the wealthy bankers and builders whose profligacy has resulted in these myriad of taxes and charges.

    Don't forget the bondholders Steve!

    You will, a trickle of water. 10 minutes to fill a kettle, Forget bath/shower.

    I can leave the tap running and fill the bath or something, I can improvise.
    Denis O'Brien is wealthy enough.

    Sure.

    You just keep telling yourself that.

    Damn bankers and builders!

    Hey don't forget about those crooked politicians either - or those fcuking bondholders - why I'd like to burn them!

    Burn Them!!!!!!

    8 hours to fill a bath, Good luck with that. I suppose if you want to you could get by on 1 or 2 cold baths a week.

    turn on the tap, Timberrr said I will still have water
    :)

    Yes you will have a restricted supply so after you flush the toilet in the morning what will you do for water for the rest of the day?:)

    Sure once people provide them with their PPSN they will be able to avoid any such issues in the future.

    In some estates in Cork + Dublin today the water meter installers had to withdraw from the area due to people blocking the water meters being installed, now if they re having trouble trying to install water meters imagine the trouble Irish water will have when try to restrict water supply.

    He could drink own urine.

    Yet meters will still get installed, How will they stop IW from limiting/restricting the supply?

    Maybe he lives in an apartment, maybe an estate yet to be metered.

    How will they reduce the water supply if this is the case?

    Btw, isn't it something like 3/4 of Irish homes that won't be metered by the time billing starts?

    Wonder what they'd do if 75% of the people just refused to engage with them.

    Maybe he does, I haven't asked and he never offered that information. They said the same about the property tax, 75% of people refuse sure they can't jail us all :rolleyes:

    Never going to happen, heard the same thing about the HHC and LPT, wonder what would happen if we all just decided not to pay nonsense and yet the vast majority (including the keyboard warriors) of people pay their bills no questions asked.

    and the lazy bastards that never worked a day in their life and those that expect that just because they can spread their legs and pop out a sprog are somehow entitled to a free house. lets not forget those parasites

    The same way they re stopping water meters being installed, when people are parking their over the water shores and standing on the footpath in numbers preventing installation of water meter, Irish water will face the same and more when they send in their henchmen to do their dirty work.

    So what the 8hr bath filling all about?

    There's a 75% chance he isn't metered. How will they restrict his pressure.


    There's no shame in saying you don't know, if you don't.

    One of the main reasons people paid paid the property tax was the powers of the revenue, if you don,t pay its taken at source or no tax clearance cert you can,t work, the water charges is different to the property tax is the sense Irish water don,t have the power to deduct from source or to deny tax clearance certs.

    No they will just reduce your water supply to the bare minimum.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,380 ✭✭✭✭Banjo String

    Repeatedly sayin this over and over without explaining how they’ll do it is making me think you're talking a load of nonsense tbh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 397 ✭✭S.O


    No they will just reduce your water supply to the bare minimum.

    Im not on the water meter yet, as aren,t a lot of others if people in numbers refuse to engage them they won,t have the manpower nor the resources to reduce water supply to a big per % of people, and as i said if they re having trouble fitting water meters they will have a lot more trouble trying to restrict water supplies, some would do well to remember what happened to water workers in the previous anti water charges campaign when they tried to cut off water and they got surrounded and trapped in the van for hours, they didn,t try enter the same areas again.

    They will just send you an estimated bill with no free allowance. Then when you refuse to pay they will take you to court.

    Ah yes you mean the bullyboy scare tactics used against normal family men trying to do a days work , how proud you must be of them, the fact many of the protesters are not even from the areas they are protesting in probably escapes you.

    Well with no contact details (can you summons 'the occupier' to a court? ) no meter to give definitive proof of how much was used , or how little (for a defence), and without someone consenting on the information pack (aka contract).....

    What you envisage/suggest will be a million miles away from easy or straightforward in reality.

    But I've been wrong in the past I suppose.
