Who will pay the price?

Will those who have decided not to pay the household charge be waiving their right to assistance from the ESB, Bord Gáis or the water mains local authority if there is a problem with the supply of these services into their homes?

If not, then it will be those of us who have paid this charge who will be subsidising those who have decided not to pay. This situation will hardly enhance civic spirits within our local communities.
