But it is farcical that this bozo is protesting about water charges in a country (like almost every other in the developed world) which already has water charges.
He has money to fly to Gibraltar for a soccer match & to make sh!te of the flag but he wants me to pay for his water (and his sunscreen presumably).
@ mike;
Remember, the entry bar for political shilling is quite low.
A full command of the English language isn’t entirely necessary.
…which is ironic…

Maybe, he thinks REDACTED has enough money.
Joe cool
Maybe he could also live there.
All the good ones fly south for winter

Oh, stop being uptight little eco-bullies! He doesn’t look like a clown to me, nor does he claim on the poster that he can’t afford to pay, just that he doesn’t want to pay Irish water and that there shouldn’t be meters.
He’s right about both of those. Here’s why:
1. We do NOT have a shortage of treated water, in fact we produce twice as much as we need, but lose 50 percent through leaking pipes.
2. Once we fix the pipes we will have twice as much water as we need. (Use a calculator if you don’t believe me.) Why would we want to conserve water by metering then, and pay for an elephantine metering infrastructure designed not for identifying leaks but for charging for water use? Out of some misguided sense of solidarity with countries with better weather and less water? We’re not all innumerate Green Party members.
3. Someone has to pay for the pipes to be fixed, and that someone is going to be us. So why not just add the amortised capital cost of that to the household charge, plus a maintenance fee for keeping the pipes fixed?

Do your suggestions in point 3 apply to everybody or just to people with access to mains water and sewerage?

This is the problem with Ireland, This person is off to support the Irish football team where Joe Delaney has been pulling strokes on Irish football for years and its exactly why are leagues are poor dirt!,,,,,,
Ps unfortunately we are in this position were the water is also going down the drain or to put it another way are infrastructure and piping system is substandard we are a growing nation. Its rains a lot in Ireland yet we have have enough water.
So basically its got to be fixed and we have to contribute to that fix as we are the consumers, going forward this has to be done or else there will be no such thing as drinking water from the tap!

A former Supreme Court judge and two solicitors have overturned Diarmuid Connolly’s red card suspension.
(RTE.ie)
Can all the players he hits or ‘sledges’ tonight now sue?
Sorry : ) http://www.balls.ie/gaa/diarmuid-connollys-red-card/306887
“The panel’s decision related to lack of fair procedure afforded to Mr Connolly at an early stage in the GAA’s internal disciplinary process, which unfairly hindered the preparations for, and presentation of, his defence.”
This is farcical and unmanageable at club level.

Well done Ireland : )

Well done, proper decision.

(I meant in the soccer)
But yeah, woohoo!

‘lack of fair procedure afforded to Mr Connolly at an early stage in the GAA’s internal disciplinary process, which unfairly hindered the preparations for, and presentation of, his defence.’
How could the GAA’s disciplinary process not be watertight at this stage?

as if our soccer fans weren’t embarrassing enough.

Exactly what is embarrassing about the fans of the national football team?

not sure you know what irony is
Probably not ironic.

Good man!
Ha ha, well done sir!
Sorry wrong link above, this is the one I meant to post. http://www.aquagib.gi/customer-service/tariffs
