You really need Pat for this kind of thing. Sooooo, RBB wants people to pay, instead of getting people to pay.

Sure, hasn't he got a hoodie on? That's how you know a poor person.

Isn't that part of his shtick??over-paid public representative pitches up in hobo dress to emphasise his 'man-of-the-people"status..

Suprised nobody from Fianna Fail or the Green Party on, they signed us up.

Not to mention his handsome salary and expenses and his nice pension to come?

CountyHurler

Glad to hear they got a balanced, objective group of people in the audience anyway...

Who's the eejit with the tan? I'm in favour of people paying for their water, but could they not have got someone else to put the case forward?

dublinman1990

€20 billion euro does seem like a vast amount of money for ourselves to be paying to upgrade our water supply in Ireland. The question is though why does it need to cost us that much money in the first place.

I would ask the lady there, how does she get the research to get to that amount of money at all.

We as the electorate need to see that evidence immediately as to what badly needs to be fixed in terms of our water supply?

Wait a second, so he might not be that genuine?

HeidiHeidi

Seriously, lads - who is the second guy? Name (if he is Andrew Doyle) means nothing to me.

and feck off RBB, the rich already pay mega ****-loads of tax, way WAY out of proportion to the lower paid. We have a seriously progressive tax regime already. Stop spouting cliches.

This lad must be the result of a Spanish fisherman coming ashore years back.

I'd just love to hear RBB's (and the rest of the AAA) plans for how exactly they would pay our bills if they abolish all the taxes that they swear they'll abolish if/when they get into power.

They want working people or "the rich" to pay. It is important to note that RBB believes that people should not have savings. So if you have savings, you are rich.

Kerrydude1981

Is it a tan or is he just saving water by not washing himself?

I love Turkish Delight. Think we're in the minority though.

Another way of looking at it is that, due to his superior education, he knows what he's talking about!

tampopo

Joe Duffy had a dozen cases on the radio during the week about badly installed meters.....

What a tan though! Fair to him it's impressive for Halloween.

Nib

The same people who give out about the water charges have no problem going into a shop and paying €1.50 for a 500ml bottle of the stuff.

Totally! That's what I was getting at.

Anyway, where's Mary Lou and Pierce? Is the populist nonsense table too crowded these days?

Most shocking thing I've heard tonight...

Atlantic Dawn

And the contract to fit them was awarded to...

stretchdoe

People have always paid for water through general taxation.

I think most people would have no problem paying on a 'by use' basis if a separate water department was set up by govt, not a 'semi-state body'/quango that the usual suspects are benifiting from, if it was shown where there was cut in income tax commensurate with what people are paying for water under any proposed new arrangement and if it was made definite that this isn't the first step towards privatisation of water, which it clearly is.

hmmm

I was never rich enough to be able to afford to be a socialist

Lying low until the latest Adams scandal blows over.

Tubs stirring the audience but losing them....

Atlantic Dawn

What else is a meter for, your not going to ride the thing...

Meangadh

I don't want to pay for water. But I reeeeeeeeeeally don't want to have to watch this stuff on a Friday night. Yawn.

Skin problem. He has a permanent tan. Which is seriously unfortunate for a politician.

The ESB ones have a fleshlight attachment.

Tax the rich a bit more,

On a 90K salary, that RBB can stump up himself.......

Roger_007

The people who are scared of meters are really scared that anyone will know how much water they waste!

CountyHurler

I think John Tierney should grow a pair of b$lls and start making a few high profile appearances himself and stop hiding behind Elizabeth Arnett's skirt...

That is just plain crazy. I don't believe that for a second.

Hunger strike for three days. LOL!

Un Croissant

Arrested? Oh holy God!! Lordtamercy.

Atlantic Dawn

Is there a market for selling the meter on the open market, Ebay etc?

Meangadh

Something else that installing the meters has done: there are now loads of really white squares on the ground that don't match the rest of footpaths in my estate. God damn.
