There is a simple, fair and efficient way to sort out the Irish Water problem

In the populist race to dismantle Irish Water a simple fix is being overlooked: dismantle Irish Water for the purposes of collecting water charges from individuals; however, keep Irish Water as the state body briefed with the task of securing safe and efficient water supply and sewerage disposal service from properties in Ireland.

Now. Increase property tax (a tax for the wealthy and privileged) by the amount required to run the water and sewerage service.

Make it tax deductible.
