The people who want to pay for nothing will continue to pay for nothing. That's what they want and that's what they will get.

I think that's why I like the concept of a Basic Income - at least we'd all get something!

On reading the threads I pick up too much bashing of the won,t pay people.
I think too much play is put onto the perennial (entitlement) brigade , who I agree, will not willingly pay for anything.

If as it appears, 50% of people have not paid and we have 10% unemployment ,then surely a substantial % of non payers are bona-fide taxpayers.

This large cohort are not stupid; and in the cack handed way Irish Water has been handled ,have logically decided to withhold payment.

For my own part the most grating thing was calling the e100 bribe a conservation grant grr!!; @ best it insults my brain cells. @ worst it makes me wonder is Irish Water for real ?
