Poll: Will the new water charge regime appease the Irish public?

Radical changes are to be confirmed this week – will they be enough?

THE GOVERNMENT IS set to announce radical changes this week to how water charges will be levied.

This includes capped charges, a maximum rate of €178 for a family for the first three years and a change in the way PPS numbers are collected.

So, we want to know: Do you think the new water charge regime will be enough to appease the Irish public?


Poll Results:

No, not a chance (8916)
Yes, this is better (1537)
I'm not sure (874)

    The ‘church’ sign looks like a Bureau de Change. Cheques made payable to Creflo Dollar. Peace.

    I often wonder why I don’t start my own ministry. I could certainly do with a bigger house, more cars and a swiss watch. Wait, I think god just spoke to me. . . . . . $$$$$
