Water Charges. How much?

[foxcommander]

We seriously need a new party or revolution
Or a dictator
Heil micheal o'leary

Be careful what you wish for 
That was the cry in Germany c 1932

I'd rather Michael O'Leary than the despot which is Inda.

At least you know O'Leary will deliver bang for buck and not tolerate incompetence.

Discussion on another thread about wells, can anyone confirm you don't need to pay water charges if you have your own supply (in the north)?

If so could anyone recommend a company which could test water from an old well to see if it is fit for human consumption?

[supersarsfields]

Is yours a commercial property Leo? If not you shouldn't be paying wTer charges in the north.

You can use a few different companies to test the water.

Like Hitler, Pol Pot, Kim il Sung and son. grandson etc and all the others of that ilk.
At least Kenny was elected to his position and even if he goes there will still be Water Charges, Property Tax, PAYE, VAT, PRSI, USC, Excise duties etc etc.

Inda was elected to his position due to circumstances.
His party got voted into power due to incompetence by the incumbents
Inda was leader due to lack of courage of his party to get rid of him. Richard Bruton would have been a better leader imo.

Pol Pot or Inda Kenny...hmmm - one of these leaders tortures his people with unjust actions and mindless policies and the other was the premier of Cambodia. Tough choice.

Really? 

I'd say there are millions of dead Cambodians who would have loved to have the opportunity to make idiotic comparisons like that.

I'll stick to "Knock Knock" jokes for you in the future.

AZ, you're looking for information that just isn't there. There are no drawings of what pipes are there, even the location of some are guess work, no idea what state the pipes are in, where the leaks are.
It will take years to get a cohesive system in place.
Probably the worst thing that IW could do is come out with an ill informed estimate, too low and it'll be used as a stick to beat them down the line, too high and you'll have people saying it could be done cheaper in Scandanivia/Germany why can't it be done here.
The info just isn't there for future spend estimates, it's suck it and see I'm afraid. It's a complete shambles, fixing it is a huge operation.

I thought you were the joker.

And yes they are a joke, along with just about every other political party on this island.

The boom/bust cycles are deliberately started by Governments/Presidents seeking re-election. I am not sure if we can afford this form of Government anymore.

But I have no idea what to replace it with.

What would you say to secret ballots at dail. One of the problems is the fear of "party whips".

The people should elect candidates based on their prior public service track record to implement changes and get the job done, not because they've managed the Galway and Mayo football team for example or because his grandfather also was a TD years ago.

If you had 166 intelligent, conscientious and hard working people working together driving through changes, giving them the ability to think and vote based on the issue at hand would that not be a bigger benefit to the country? Party politics over the last few years has done nothing to enhance the country.

right now it's just an exercise to stay in power by all means necessary to stay on the gravy train.

Also clear out the decks at the seanad for a start. anyone planted by a political party should be removed.
These should be the people to ratify the sanity of the other house's decision. Right now it's a retirement home for the incapable or a foster home for those who don't get elected.
