By voicing our opinions, we are called traitors. The traitors are those unwilling to support their Country. BTW, Radiation was first mentioned by some protesters in Cork.

Is it up to me to check how much it will cost me, how much my free allowance is and how to pay. When my car insurance is up they write to me to tell me how much my fee for the year will be and what benefits i will be entitled to.

lacco wrote: » Maryanne84 just saw your comment re protesting. How can people be blamed when there are no published fees for water charges yet, on top of that people are expected to hand over their pps numbers and their childrens for no good reason,furthermore loads of water is leaking around the country and to top it all off some of our water is not fit for human consumption. Headache stuff!

There's one reason for this and one reason alone, the books have to look good so potential buyers, maybe the likes of 'tax non dom' himself, will pay a handsome price for the company. Once that happens water prices will increase 10 fold, mark my words.

They know quite well that this quango has been set up at great expense and it simply cannot fail. Common sense will tell anyone (especially on the pro side) that IW must pay for itself. If the Revenue required isn't being filtered in due to folk conserving water, of course they'll jack up the price. Only a complete and utter dope would assume otherwise. The resistance out there seems to be growing each day. Unless the Govt and Irish Water have some underhand sneaky trick up their sleeves to force people to pay, I forsee big problems ahead.When installers are being run out of estates, unable to install meters, how the hell do they think they'll ever get into restrict or turn off a house? I'm loving it btw. Interesting new year ahead.

There is lots of information on both the IW site and the CER site. There has been public information meetings organised by various politicians. The details have been well covered by various media. And you're contributing to a discussion thread on the topic. If you still need help with some of the basic information you don't have, you probably can't be helped.

No public meetings by politicians where i live. The media have covered it to an extent but no one has given an exact amount of water that is free per child/per adult. How much is 1000 litres of water? How can i pay this tax? Is it payable weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly? If me or any of my children have an illness/disability then how does this affect my payments/allowances? Who will fit my meter/where will it be placed?This tax is less than a week away and yet no one seems to have any idea about the workings of it.

mfceiling wrote: » Why is it up to me to find this out? Irish Water want me to pay for the water. That's fine - how much is it? How did i say it's everyone else's fault? How much are you going to pay for your water and what is your exact allowances? If you don't know the exact figures right now then you'd better start looking for that information.
Banjo String wrote: » Not for long what? Wasn't the injunction made earlier on in the week, yet I saw van loads being escorted from edenmore only yesterday, quickly followed by the gards in full riot gear being escorted out soon afterwards. Unless they deploy NATO or troops. Are you privy to some kind of information the rest of us aren't?

Next week i will pay for water - and i have no f*cking idea how much. When someone wants me to pay for something i'd expect them to tell me how much money they want, when they want paid and how they want paid. I run a small enough construction business and believe me, before i do a job i will have an EXACT amount of money detailed for the customer and when i expect to be paid.

If i'm going to provide a service then i will make sure that the consumer knows how much before i start. I've no idea how much i'll be paying from October 1. I suspect none of the rest of you do neither...
