Government’s handling of water charges left many with a bitter taste

Having my own water supply and sewage disposal, I am an onlooker to the water charges protests.

Water has to be paid for either publicly or privately but the introduction of charges has been a total shambles from beginning to end and has done so much damage to the govenment’s reputation.

As an example I was entitled on paper to receive the 2015 Water Conservation Grant of €100 but I never received the application form which was sent me nor was the grant sent.
