Well, it's not working if they're still doing it and nobody's picking them up.
No, I don't think we should have domestic water charges.
We already pay for our water and people should remember that water is not free in Ireland.
We pay for it every single day through VAT, care taxation, the other taxations we have.
We pay for our water.
And I think people have to get it into their head.
Water is not free in Ireland.
We pay for it every single day.
It's not... What I'm against is direct charges where they try to put the meters outside the doors of people.
Not indirect taxation like we have at the moment, you know?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you know that Irish Water, since they took over, that they're replacing 0.4% of the infrastructure every year?
They should be replacing at least 10 times that, 4%.
And we're losing a third of the water.
I mean, Irish Water should be reported to the regulatory body
and somebody should snitch on Irish water and get them... Not Irish Water Limited, we find, but the CEO of it, who's over this and allowing 33% of the water, and it's...
water, treated water, which cost an awful lot of money, and he's allowing that to happen.
That man should be put in jail for allowing a company like that, to allow a company to lose a third of its assets.
That's how it works, first of all.
Why?
