Abolishing Irish Water.

Would it be one of the biggest wastes of money in the history of the state considering what it cost to set up and apparently they are making real changes around the country. It's not like we won't have to pay for the infrastructural upgrades anyway.

Nobody will abolish it, it's just election talk. It's here to stay.

Making real changes around the country? Yeah keep drinking the kool aid.

It's the original authorities still doing the same work while we pay for water twice.

Where has our annual €1.5 billion in water tax gone since IW was setup?

IW's days are numbered.

People are starting to see it for what it is. This 60% compliance rate they have released in the media is absolute tosh as it doesn't reveal what percentage have stopped / started paying. Our water will stay in the ownership of the people.
