    Fabricated outrage. How do you expect to receive water if no money is to be spent on it?

    Motor tax does not directly fund Irish Water.

    The Local Government Fund has income from:
    * General Purpose Grant from central government
    * Motor Tax
    * Local Property Tax
    * Some legacy funding like NPPR
    * Other income

    The Local Government Fund then spends money on:
    * Councils
    * Local Government Management Agency
    * Irish Water

    Most of the Irish Water money is then given to councils, who still do a lot of the day to day work and will do so for the next few years.

    Motor tax doesn't collect enough money to pay for all work to roads.

    The General Purpose Grant more than pays for Irish Water.
