ArcusPluviusIncitus 45 March 22, 2015 Share March 22, 2015 (edited) Okay I am getting sick of hearing how the Irish people dislike water charges and how it is a human right so the question I am asking here is what do the rest of you around the world think about charging for water? I am honestly fine with it but that might be a bias opinion due to the fact I am 17 and I don't pay bills. However these marches and signs all around the place and people getting fussy is getting on my nerves! One argument is that we are paying for water already, 2% of our tax go to water treatment! Yes I admit this is double taxation and it is stupid however It is not a full legislation saying we are fully being tax for water, it was just so water is treated. Ireland was in fact the only country in Europe who didn't pay water tax, that may be wrong but I know we were one of the few. Next thing is that people can't pay the water charges due to recession, again understandable how people are just getting by and hate for more taxes to come in but it's 100 euro per year. Another invalid argument is that we don't need fucking more water treatment! You know what? Just go out and collect rain water and get infected and ill! The people of the Bmw (Border Mid-lands West) the west of Ireland have to boil their kettles to have clean water because the fucking water is contaminated! They need more water treatment! Lastly we are in a ressesion! The water charges is a way for a speedy recovery!....and people say it will put us more in debt? I will arise the question I asked before. What do all of you that are not from Ireland think? Do you agree that we should be charged? Or do you think it is a violation of human rights?

ArcusPluviusIncitus 45 March 23, 2015 Author Share March 23, 2015 Hmm, I am not sure if it is anything to worry about, look it is a way to make some more money and make a speedy recovery. Also we need the money for more water treatment plants and it costs a lot of money to do so. I suppose it's just an over reaction, it will blow over when the charges come in January 1st 2016.
