yes,but the situation in ireland is a bit different as your social housing charge goes towards your water payment,along with your tax money, ALONG with part of the money you pay on motor tax, not to mention that the Siemens company approached the irish government saying they would install and supply the meters at no/next to no cost but yet some prick in dail eireann wanted to line his buddies pockets with a massive contract. Thats why people can be pissed off about Irish water.

What do you think taxes are for? Do you think the water just magically flowed to our taps before this?
The issue is that they're making an entirely new branch of government to deal with it, wasting **** knows how many taxpayer euros to pay utterly unneeded government employees, in addition to the strong chance that it will later be privatized, meaning we could lose our basic right to drinking water.
