Spotted that strange, unidentified brick chucker on a Sunday World video of Saturday’s protests [in Jobstown, Tallaght, Dublin]. This is him [in red] within a pebble’s throw of gardai, some undercover, before he launched his now famous vessel of hate… As you say: hmmm.
He’s a cheeky monkey.
Make no mistake.

Pop tykes recording Do They Know It’s Christmas
Bob Geldof has gathered a throng,
Of pop stars to sing a bad song,
All for charity,
Perhaps it’s time he,
Asked the locals, who think he is wrong.

So if you were to take away Irish Water and it’s contractors backed by Ireland’s favourite non-resident billionaire, why should we pay for water separately?
The folks over at Public Policy (a neo liberal think tank backed by Atlantic Philanthropies) produced this infographic with their arguments.

The establishment of the new company limited by guarantee would allow the College to seek charitable status from the Revenue Commissioners, given that the objectives of the company would support those of the College. Approval for charitable designation, which the proposal claims “should be available”, would exempt College’s online teaching from paying tax on tuition fees received.
In order to arrange effectively for the tax-free transfer of funds between the new company and the College it may be necessary that students pay fees directly to the College, who would in turn reimburse the company for “services rendered”.
As a distinct legal entity, it is possible that Trinity Dublin Online would be allowed to circumvent the public sector Employment Control Framework (ECF), which restricts the number of staff who can be hired from exchequer funding.

Preparing for the protest today at the Nursing & Midwifery Board Hq, Carysfort Avenue, Blackrock [Co Dublin] at midday. Protest is against the 80% increase in retention fees in the past two years. With 50% of the increase occurring this year alone. Enough is enough.
