I will not pay for water that I already own as a citizen of Ireland

I will not return any information to Irish Water before November 30. I have a number of reasons:

1. The water in Ireland belongs to the nation and should not be ‘sold’ to the people who already own it. Irish Water say they have the right to discontinue the supply to my home. Water is the most basic of human needs.

2. The current legislation does not prevent the sale of Irish Water to a private concern, nor to a group of shareholders. I do not accept that the government of today, or any future government, should have the legal right to sell it.
