We're not getting it for free you clown, we are alread paying thru our UNIVERSAL SOCIAL CHARGE< you clown. Monkey is your right name.

do you pay for your electricity ? should this be covered under the universal social charge. you don't get it i'm afraid. it costs money to provide clean water. the more you use ,the more you should pay. don't like it, stick out a bucket , and boil the water you want to consume

The only way now is no allowances ffs. Everyine pays just like a pint of milk, loaf of bread everyone pays.

When I was a student, we only used water if one of the Mums was coming (and we cleared the floor so you could see it, too)

People just don't get it, pity it's not highlight more, we are already paying for water thru the UNIVERSAL SOCIAL CHARGE, now in my dicitionary, the word universal means, all inclusive, if they want us to pay for water separately then they are going to have to abolish the UNIVERSAL SOCIAL CHARGE, the state casn't have it both ways, we could all well afford to pay these charges, but not pay the USC as well, it's daylight robbery.

Not quite. We are paying for the water, schools etc through Government borrowing - last year it was €12billion, this year projected to be €6billion. That's just to fund the gap between public expenditure and spending on services, welfare, roads... All that debt is piling up and will need to be paid off by our children.

I agree, but the UNIVERSAL SOCIAL CHARGE has to go, then we pay for what we use, but at the moment, government hasn't got right on it's side with the unjust USC, they can't have it every way.

I don't like it either, the USC, it's costing me 30-40 euros a week or so. But john o'donovans 'wages' need to be paid every week !!

I have my own well.. I want Tax relief for maintaining it plus all the tax I paid to the state that went in public water systems ...

Do I think that will ever happen.. NO.
I think I will have a little protest march of my own

Irish Water means to me I only pay for my own water and not others..

That's just about it - it's your patriotic duty as a citizen to work and pay taxes to help those who cannot support themselves.

Sounds like Bob Geldorf to me...

Mr BMW, I know the type unfortunately.

He's happy to pay cause it won't make a dent in his pension

Tiger Mcilroy

But the issue isnt to do with the charge its to do with the abysmal way its being set up and communicated. They managed to figure out the bonuses they could afford to pay before a cent has been collected.. its a joke.

My favourite Bob Geldof quote

“You can't trust politicians. It doesn't matter who makes a political speech. It's all lies - and it applies to any rock star who wants to make a political speech as well.”

scargill

borrowing for your wages and pension pal !

Im waiting for Lenihans letter ffs......whats the hold up...here

Dan Jaman

This "very modest charge" won't be collected weekly, you utter clown. If it were only €3.50 per week or €14 per month and it could be paid that way, that would be fine. The utter a55holes in charge totally fail to make it easy to collect and will want it in one or two lump sums.
FFS; years ago the TV Licence people sussed that one out and made it possible to buy weekly licence stamps - is the government so stupid it's totally forgotten the simple things?
