Free country sure, but if you allow "people" (dirt is more accurate) like that to associate with your movement that you can't be surprised with people associate your movement with dirt like him.

Only ignorant people.

And nobody really cares what "associations" they'll try to make.

You do not put stuff in the constitution about bloody utilities. There is enough superfluous stuff in there as it is about society that has nothing to do with structuring a republic.

Joe Costello or anyone else who suggests a referendum is a cretin.

Although I've suggested it myself I agree with you that is poor use of the constitution.
How about legislation that specifies a minimum of 60% before it can be reversed?

I think you have been predicting the demise of this government 5 times a day from about 20 minutes after they get into power. I guess you have to be right eventually.

Out of curiosity, do you give any credit to the government for our economic recovery since they came to power? Or do you even acknowledge that there even has been a recovery?

There are other choices, including inflating our way out of it instead of more and more prohibitive austerity. You know that as well as Enda does

Have you run that one past the ECB, they might have a passing interest in your proposal.

Utilities are the health and economic prosperity of the nation
And as such should be embedded in the constitution

No its not. Its about not paying for water. http://www.right2water.ie/about

Theres nothing stopping you not getting mains water and fending for yourself, nothing at all. You wont be required to pay IW a penny.

Wrong, if you are connected to a main sewer, there is a charge for waste water disposal, and if you're not taking mains water, I am guessing that you will pay a flat fee for the use of the waste water service.

So if a government has no effect then there's no point in replacing them with another one?

Maybe we could convert the Dáil in to a hotel? :pac:

If the system was working as it was originally intended to, then constitutional protection of utilities would not have been needed,

BUT, and it's a VERY BIG BUT, given the corruption, sleeveen politicians and the strokes that they've pulled in recent years, the people need some extra protection that has to be at a constitutional level in order to give us back some of the control that we thought we had.

Don't worry. SF have no intention of going into government any time soon.

What will be the effect of each house getting 30,000 litres before charging kicks in on that calculation. Or the effect of the capped charge which will apply for a period? Also why did you not include the cities which charge around the same or higher than €4.88. With no uncharged for allowance?

Oh dx, dx, dx

London €1.63 / 1000 litres

Paris €2.16 / 1000 litres

Munich €2.26 / 1000 litres

3 of the MOST expensive cities in Europe to live in.

Would you like some blood to go with that?

What about the cities that charge more than €4.88? And can you work out the average charge per house for Ireland factoring in 30,000 litres for each house and 21,000 litres for each child taken off the bill. That will be a more accurate comparison.

Well I'll tell you what dx.....

YOU do a bit of research and tell ME who charges more than €4.88 per unit rather than being totally spurious.

Then we'll have a debate

Taking the nominal value per litre without factoring in things like free allowance is being intellectually dishonest.

The second charging or the first charging?

What the hell does that mean? Peculiar turn of phrase

Anyway, a debate works two ways....

I gave information, you give counter information. Then discuss.

Before I do that could you find out what those charges for the cities you listed include. Are they for the supply of water only or the supply of water and the treatment of waste water? That is a very important factor. If a house in Ireland gets mains water but has their own septic tank they pay half. And if they use the public sewers but have their own well or are on a local group supply they pay half.
