Ciarán

Well, we're currently on Mead, Loud, Longford, Galway, Dublin, Kildare, Watford, Tipperary and quite a few other people waiting in the wings to speak to us.

51551 as well, the number for your text or email, liveline at rte.ie.

And Noreen Miller is on the line.

Noreen, I'm not sure if you were listening before the break, but the issue of water charges came up and people's willingness to pay for them.

What do you think?

I'm going to cut across you there, Noreen, just for one second.

I think you have a radio on behind you, maybe.

Oh, yeah, sorry.

No, it's just because you probably can hear yourself slightly delayed back.

If you just run over and turn that down for a moment, and while you do that, I'll just bring in Anna, who's on the line as well.

Anna, whereabouts in the country are you?

Okay, County Clare.

And what's the situation there with your water?

Yeah.

Well, your husband, on the day of his daughter's wedding, on the morning of his daughter's wedding, when he has booked in annual leave, shouldn't be worried about an 80-year-old widow.

Somebody else should be worried about that.

Oh, so he actually had to go and deal with the calls as well?

And Anna, how does it feel then listening to...

all of these issues then that people are having with Irish water, no one, as you well know in your house, that one of the reasons that Irish water exists, certainly one of the reasons we were all told was that it was going to make things better.

Having one big utility instead of all of the local authorities doing it, people like your husband doing it, was going to get better.
