New website for water charges refund but no law passed

Irish Water has launched a website dealing specifically with refunds of charges.

The website is now live, though the legislation that needs to be enacted for refunds to be processed has still not passed through the Houses of Oireachtas.

The Water Services Bill passed through Committee stage last Wednesday, where Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil voted together and rejected dozens of amendments tabled by opposition parties.
