Fine Gael feel the pain again as water torture returns

Oh what a mess. The nightmare of water charges is back to haunt Fine Gael and those in Government, writes Juno McEnroe

There was hope that a report this week on solving the water charge dilemma for politicians, would gift Fine Gael a grand political fudge like no other to quietly consign water bills to the dustheap, but instead it has given the party an almighty headache which will last for months.

Fianna Fáil look like they will get away with vague answers on what to do about water, while all the pressure is now mounting on Fine Gael’s rank and file for refunds.
