Inside the Abtran offices in Mahon, Cork, this morning where Irish Water’s call centre workers are based.
People who have registered with Irish Water will start to receive bills from tomorrow.
Meanwhile, outside Abtran…
Irish Water customers set to get first quarterly bills (Irish Times)

Looks like Shane Foley forgot his password again.
Also, Photo 3 – head in hands. Caption contest?
Impoverished Taxpayer: What. The hell. Is going on?
Irish Water Bane: Our plan is proceeding as expected.
Impoverished Taxpayer: Oh really? Do *I* look like I’m drinking potable water right now? Your hit, on Irish Householders, it didn’t work, my friend! And now you have my construction crews going around the city at 24 hours a day! How exactly is that supposed to help my country improve water services?
Irish Water Bane: [to Fine Gael Lackey] Leave us!
Impoverished Taxpayer: No! You stay here, I’m in charge!
Irish Water Bane: [puts his hand on Impoverished Taxpayer’s shoulder] Do you *feel* in charge?
[Fine Gael Lackey leaves]
Impoverished Taxpayer: I paid you a small fortune.
Irish Water Bane: And this gives you *power* over me?
Impoverished Taxpayer What is this?
Irish Water Bane: Your money and infrastructure have been important… ’til now!
Impoverished Taxpayer: What are you?
Irish Water Bane: I’m Ireland’s reckoning. Here to end the borrowed time you’ve all been living on!
Impoverished Taxpayer: You’re pure evil!
Irish Water Bane: I’m *necessary* evil!
[breaks Impoverished Taxpayer’s neck]
You’d need danger money for your eyes working on that account.
Where the fupp is yer man going with the ‘Jihad’ poster.
that’s what comes out of his taps – jihad and jicould water.
You are my favourite person ever!
jihad to hand it to him alright
A bird in jihad is worth two in dibush
A bird in jihad? Chador be joking?
OMG, facepalm. Jihad? Have these clowns no idea what is going on in the world right now?
Couldn’t agree more. It’s the most out of place sign I’ve ever seen!
Jihad now is it?
Abtran have been fantastic in terms of bringing Employment to the region.
Great stuff altogether.
Worked there for 2 years. Lost any and all faith in humanity.
yes indeed. such heros abtran are.
Nothing to do with opening a horrible business in a desperate place where people will sell their souls for jobs.
The people working there will no doubt claim “i’m only doing my job” which somehow invalidates any claim of immorality on their part.
Sorry lads – didn’t work at nuremberg and doesn’t work here either.
haha DK what an absolute idiot you are. Nuremberg, really? You and your lot are why most people think you idiots are not to be taken seriously, just a pack of workshy thugs who should be back in the pub drinking their lives away, quietly.
“The people working there are scum anyway”
clown
Jaysus, you’re a donkey alright.
Comparing call centre workers to nazis only invalidates your point as rambling hysteria.
I thought that the Jihad sign would be stupidest thing said in relation to this post, but you managed to top it with Nuremberg – well done.
I was being mischievous with references to war trials.
You folks are too easy to wind-up…..
seriously though – they take the pay of their master they deserve the protests.
doing your job doesn’t excuse you.
aaaaaaaand, there it is, godwin’s law
Ji had, Ji did have, Ji no longer has
What would Ji do?
Mus-Liam always post on this?
Ji-knowwarraimean!
More jobs inside than outside
Why are these clowns always in workmans bibs. The irony.
a friend of me works there, poor sod.
I recommend that the lads and Lasses of Abtran try a bit of this in the evening http://store.steampowered.com/app/261880/
Jihad to, jihad to, jihad to let it linger?
haha, well done.
Hahah best one so far
Whatever it is about protesting in the housing estates, following or hassling people trying to do a days work is not on. A good few of the engineers, even at graduate level, are being intimidated and followed home. Disgraceful.
Colin,colin,colin.You are a funny little man.
Won’t someone think of the children?
+1 Colin
Jihad, Jihas, Jihat – Jihamus, Jihatus, Jihant.
There, that’s that declined for ya :)
You gotta love the ‘corporate’ nonsense on the walls…. because it is just that, nonsense.
Would it be too much to ask broadsheet to cover people’s names?
How would we know who they were then, so that we could buy them a pint.
Mother of god, I’d fluppin hate to work there..
You could never accuse broadsheet of bias, no mention of the hardline republicans with a totally different agenda manning the water protests
