Irish Water sets new deadline of January ’16

Irish Water has set a final deadline of January 31, 2016, for householders to register with the company and still get back some or all of any money they may have been overcharged up to then.

In an attempt to clear up new confusion about the shifting deadlines, the company said that anyone who registers by December 31, and has been billed too much in the meantime, will be able to claim back the full amount of the overcharge.

Anyone who registers from January 1-31 will only be able to claim back overcharges relating to the last bill they received. By that stage, they will have received three bills.
