I can’t believe they’ve allowed the cat out of the bag. Finally the plan for Irelands water is revealed, 30 years in the making.
“buy a few laid up supertankers and ship Irish water where there ain’t”
In hindsight, probably the worst business idea ever.
Pass it on to Irish water
@Alex
We don’t even have to buy the tankers.They come here regularly with crude oil to the refinery.Fill them up with the Ballygowan on their return journey to the Middle East.
@Padraig: Oil distribution developed – water will too – if necessity dictates ! A centralised approach to water is vital – the lack of any business case for the meters is the main issue. HNY all.
