The same could be said about every service in Ireland…
They’re never letting those water charges go away, we’ll be in bad a state as the UK water eventually
Who would have thought fobbing upgrades off for decades would become an issue…
At least we’ll always that sweet sweet American money rolling in forever.
It’s down to mismanagement at government and local levels throughout the years, money was being received via road tax, part of which was to cover water pipes etc, but they funnelled it elsewhere for decades and neglected to the place we are now in
Water is a human right, fund it through general taxation and fine the piss takers
There was no guarantee that Irish water would remain a public entity. There is a high risk it will be sold off like the Irish lotto was sold to premier lotteries. I’m happy to pay for water on condition it’s owned by the taxpayer forever.
Race to the bottom engineering with Veolia, EPS, Glan-nua all directed by Irish Waters “we don’t care if it works as long as it cost fuck all policy” …. What do you expect?
>Permission for a new north Dublin plant was granted in 2019 but was subject of a judicial review and referred back to An Bord Pleanála for a new decision, which had yet to be issued.
>“That Dublin drainage project was estimated at around €650 million in 2018. Today, it’s €1.3 billion. That’s the cost of delay but it’s only part of the cost of delay.” This is because it meant Uisce Éireann “cannot permit development” in large parts of north and north west Dublin “where most of the development potential is”.
I actually thought they had under priced it in 2018.
I’d say they are more likely looming at around 2 billion Mark.
It’s not just that FFFG are too busy plundering the country to maintain basic public services, they’re actively eroding those services in order to build public support for privatisation.
If only there was a branch of government specifically tasked with sorting that…
