Fine Gael TDs split on water charge refunds

Fine Gael TDs are split on refunding water charges, with half of those contacted by the Irish Examiner in favour of giving the money back and a near identical number saying non-payers must instead be pursued.

A number were on the fence on the issue.

Cork South West TD Jim Daly said attachment orders should be used to pursue non-payers. “The law of the land applies,” he said.
