I'd prefer to have my toe-nails removed by pliers. No doubt some self important local politically motivated people will hog the air time anyhow.

I think I will pass.

I expect a lot of those Facebook people that were in the Kenny at the Fairgreen thread from a few months back will be at it screaming and shouting looking for there 15 minutes of Facebook fame.

I went but I wasn't "one of those people" by any stretch of imagination.

As it happens I thought the issue of Irish Water wasn't discussed or mentioned (& I was making copious amounts of notes throughout, maybe 4-5 Pages worth....) at all until afterwards someone said it did get a mention.

Maybe it did but it wasn't anything approaching relevance or high on the agenda.

We're a rural constituency & a figure tonight, can't verify it mind, was told to me by a politician, that 45% of People in the CW/KK Constituency already pay water rates (privately/residentially etc. I think he meant as opposed to commercially although that would, I assume include farms where the farmhouse is part of the commercial business that is a farm).

It's just not an issue in rural Ireland, even between the city, towns & villages there's a huge difference of opinion.

If anyone wants my notes ahead of the Wednesday night broadcast, PM me your emails or if any other questions just holler.

Sound bites and lowest common denominator, the nah sayers actually have no real plans. Yawn.
