    no , they already have provisions in place to be able to draw money from the government if they run a loss , IW will be funded one way or another.

    Not if the bloated hulk of middlemanagement mess ceases to exist.

    No actually im quite mystified, going back through this thread as it's been posted here before im sure, but i can assure you the regulator needs to be consulted on any price change.

    Nothing new there.

    The regulator consistently increases prices for companies,after consultation.

    There is no guarantee he will not do likewise for FG cronies.

    Just shows how detached you are just as the present Government seem to be from the people right now , but the day is coming soon when that will end bigtime.

    The moneypot is empty

    Shinners according to polls are in front if there was a election in the morning.

    Shinners were in front of Paul Murphy until the final count, might have been 6 counts?

    I think you're a bit delusional, things will never change. Instead of complaining on boards why not start a campaign with meetings to stop it.

    Not sure what it has to do with the topic and tbh i don't begrudge him a way to be on social media to stay in touch with his friends without being under scrutiny all the time.

    What's the issue with this? Seems perfectly sensible, and exactly what I would expect public figures to do. No relevance to the discussion at hand anyway

    Yes it does as some people here have been accused of being FG or IW agents with a agenda.The way some people think the sun shines out of FG behinds and see nothing negative about IW and call the protesters a ''mob''.People defending a FG woman saying people can drink rain water for a week.And people wanting water to be cut for people who cant afford to pay.Very suspicious.

    How is him having a private social media account negative? He may be an elected official but he is also entitled to some small semblance of a private life as well

    You are missing the point on purpose.The point is he could be one of you spouting FG propaganda.Irish water has been a disaster and you know it.Another double tax.

    The poor should always be protected.
    Those who can afford to pay should , I don't think anyone is arguing that those who can't actually afford be disconnect , jailed , put on a trickle pressure etc...

    Impossible to say. You'd have to know what repairs would be made to the network, how much conservation would occur by users and what changes are to be made to the collection and purification process if any. And that's aside from any internal factors such as redundancies and bonuses and all the rest.

    How could I possibly know that? All I said was that the energy regulator has to approve any increase in price.
