    It was never about leaks, investment or usage.

    Money, money, money.
    Money is obviously a key factor: we were spending €1.2bn in tax money on water, which was effectively wasted - 40% of potable water lost to leaks, boil water notices and a crumbing infrastructure. €700m a year on administration of a shambolic 'management' of water by the Local Authorities.

    So, yes, it's about money - it's about not wasting our tax money and borrowing to pay for inept Local Authority water management.
