Water is a right and so it’s a myth that your supply can be cut off

Irish Water myths:

1) It’s about conservation. With 42% wastage in delivery, if conservation is the focus then the infrastructure should have been upgraded before a single meter was installed.

2) Where would we get the money to upgrade those pipes? Let Minister for Finance Michael Noonan make the short trip from Kildare St to Dame St, and have a chat with Central Bank Governor, Patrick Honahan; this year, as a legacy of Noonan’s promissory note ‘deal’ and the bailout of the European big-bank creditors of Anglo Irish Bank (yes, that’s still a ‘live’ issue), Honohan takes in and destroys €500m, and will take in and destroy €28bn over the next decade, costing the people of this country an average of €2bn per year for the next 40 years. Burn those bonds, not the billions, and rather than pay for this dead bank, invest those billions in the country.
