Poll: Would you report someone for breaking the hosepipe ban?

Over 300 reports have been made.

IRISH WATER HAS confirmed that 75 people a week are reporting people for breaking the hosepipe ban.

A nationwide hosepipe ban has been in place since Friday 6 July. It was initially in place until 31 July but yesterday it was extended until the end of August.

Irish Water says it hasn’t issued any fines yet but that they made calls to some of those reported to remind them of the ban.

So today we’re asking, would you report someone for breaking the hosepipe ban?

    Tool. Imagine landing in Kabul, of all places, plastered. Can’t think the local cops would be too pleased to see a drunk and a drunk Russian. He’s lucky it landed where it did by comparison

    @alan doyle: Afghans can’t handle their drink. You hear of incidents all the time of drunk Afghans causing trouble in Germany.
