Stop Cock Enda is the leader in the clubhouse for me so far on the signs.

A lot of tallying to be done yet.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Although Enda Kenny Is An Ass Face makes up for its lack of punnage by calling Enda Kenny an ass face on a sign.

He's at his heart a county councillor. He is quiet, afraid Ireland writ large.

It's a shambles. Most people I speak to are not opposed to paying something towards water, ok, our tax up til now pays for water so maybe that should read something more for the water service, or something specific for the water service.
Water already flows from the taps. What will we have that we didn't already have? A company.
Why they didn't just tack a bit onto the Household charge for water and leave well enough alone? It's electronic voting all over again. Paying for shit that nobody wants.

 

[magicbastarder]

the worst thing that they could do is have a standing charge for water that does not depend on metering.
that way, people will feel entitled to use as much water as is humanly possible 'as they're paying for it'.
part of the benefit of metering is to promote sensible water use so we won't have to produce drinking water for people to water their lawns with.

Thats it really. I'm into not being stupid about water, but there are about a million ways to bring in smart usage without it being privatization and taxing. If its a resource we can actually export (apparently 6 times what we need falls on the island) then there is loads of room to have incentives for good usage and treatment without just handing the whole show to a few lobby-able ministers.
