Angry callers are confusing Irish Water with an Irish college in Mayo

An Irish college in Mayo is drowning in complaints from people who think they are contacting Irish Water.

Coláiste Uisce is an adventure centre in the heart of Mayo’s Gaeltacht, teaching Irish through activities. Its website is uisce.ie, which some have confused with water.ie, which is used by Irish Water/Uisce Éireann. The logo and font are also similar.

So far, more than 50 people have rung in the last three months to give out about Irish Water and a 54-year-old man accidentally signed up to a Leaving Cert course thinking he was registering for the utility.
