Pathetic isn't it! They torpedoed one of the pillars of the whole Water charging scheme with that slip

It's almost like they had an "Anti-PR" Manager working for them

And boy do the people know it.
IW prices will only go one way if people register.

You're not going to get any of that from Irish Water.

Preservation? Don't make me laugh. They've already said if water is preserved they'll up the price.

:pac:

No. They didn't.
Irish Water don't even get to set the price.

No, the toothless regulator the CER takes a "submission" from IW and sets the price.

In all reality, the "submission" contains a suggested price and this is what is set.

Well done sir.

It's all that's left.

And yes, the IW startup cost was/is €180m.

€240m was spent last year on water repair/improvement by the government.

Scrap IW..... spend that €180m cash...... 9-12 months later.... Back to square 1, underfunded service.

No one can see the bigger picture.

Sorry to bring the thread back a few pages
but Have you a link or a breakdown on these figures ?
Where and when was this work done ?
And by who ?
Was it Irish Water or Local councils ?

I am not doubting you ,I just like to see because this is the first time I'm actually see any figures for repair work that has been carried out not projected figures for some future endeavours.

Kind of feel involved myself now. I might contact a friend in the Guards and have someone check up on Beaner1. Just to make sure all is above board.

I seen it mentioned on rte.ie from last year.
Along the lines of €240+ million of the €1.2bn overall water expenditure being on repairs/upgrades.

I normally have an awful lot of respect for Noonan, he has been a very good Minister for Finance but along with the rest of cabinet he seems to have lost the plot where IW is concerned. It's no wonder the grassroots of FG are panicking so much at the moment, the people in charge of the party is completely and utterly disconnected from reality.

(BTW I wish every one would stop trying to bring Merkel, the Trioka, the EU, the IMF and every other usual suspect into this arguement. This is about how we are governed by our politicians and our public servants and ensuring they take responsibility for their decisions and that those decisions can be held accountable.)

Breffnigolfer · 17-11-2014 05:14PM

Taxation should be fair. At the moment, w.r.t. water supply it is unfair because a certain percentage of the population have to pay for water supply, the rest do not. IW was created to ensure everybody pays for what they use. How is that such a problem for so many?

Why do so many want an unlimited, unmetered supply of water, for nothing?
