Sir, – Irish Water is preparing to repay the water charges. At the same time, this public body seriously lacks funds.
If the so-called water charges had been called sewage treatment contributions they would have been accepted easier.
While one can argue that abundant fresh water falls freely from the sky, domestic waste water has to be treated and therefore paid for. – Yours, etc,
