8:39 am
and walk into the ground in leaks before it gets to the top. nobility in europe to spend do i choose to spend it on meters or do i choose to stand up billion euro in fixing the leaks and building a new one for structure. despite the water having been paid through general taxation. no tax exemptions with plans to offset the new charges. and forcing more than me against able is worse is. the threat of paying for water twice led most citizens to regard the introduction of meat as an challenges as another austerity measure and the establishment of irish water is the first step towards privatisation.
