    A couple of comments.

    1. It's not the first water meter to be installed. AFAIK meters have already been installed at commercial premises. I saw a guy working on one outside a restaurant last week.

    2. That's a very big hole relative to the size of the meter.

    Installations by GMC who are subsidiaries of Siteserv owned by Denis O Brien who magically won the lucrative contract for Water Meter installions in the Dublin area even though they owe millions to Anglo (the same Denis who had many questions asked over one of his previous contract wins when Esat Digifone were awarded their telecommunications licence and the same Dennis who when purchasing Siteserv seem to win out even though another company were looking to place a higher bid.

    All above board so.

    Denis O'Brien winning contracts from a Fine Gael government, sounds oddly familiar.

    Lol.
    Great way to sabotage the old fashioned water meters and get a criminal record to boot.
    The new meters being installed are in a sealed unit and are read electronically by a specially equipped van.
    Maybe Eirigi wll throw eggs at the van to spot it!:D

    No doubt water meters will be installed in every home years before decent fibre optic broadband (I'm in Dublin FFS :mad:).

    That would make too much sense. They then might have some excuse with the broadcasting charge if we had proper broadband.
