I have found out that 1347 newbies registered with the Law Society in 2016



Its a great little country that can accommodate such year on year increases.

Fine Gael, being the sneaky f**kers that they are, have vested or bestowed all public water assets over to Irish Water PLC as of 21st July 2017 and not one politician has mentioned it. Not even the media.
This means that Irish Water now effectively owns the public water infrastructure. Lock stock and barrel.
This is the answer to the referendum you never got.
Suspended, NOT scrapped. Make your headline more accurate Irish Times...
"Company documents filed this week for the utility show it received the cash in return for issuing a raft of new shares, which were then allocated evenly between the departments of finance and housing."
Now we have confirmation that Irish Water is an independent entity that the Government do not own. The Government owns shares in Irish Water instead.
And this is coming on the heels of the Government transferring all the public water assets over to this independent Irish Water DAC.
The subvention of €270 million is to keep them going until charges can eventually be brought back.
Make no mistake. This is the path they are on..
Why else would they pay Irish Water for shares, keep them afloat with cash that they just so happen to have in the middle of a housing and health crisis and then vest this company with public assets if they do not expect to have their "customers" pay eventually?

“It has to do with the privatization of water and taking the people’s water and making a profit from it, an exorbitant profit, a ridiculous profit, when there are people with no water at all, or people with poisoned water,” she says. “We don’t believe water should be owned by anybody. It’s a public right.”

Thats nice of them, but the fact remains .... how much is Diageo paying for our water ? how much is Britvic paying for ballygowan ? I am more than happy to pay a prorata charge compared to the major users rate. Its all very well highlighting legislation for the ordinary public, but what about legislation for corporate greed ? where is the referendum to stop that?
Also what is 'Trumpian perception' ?

Trumpian refers to the bombast, egotism, and lies, or anti-establishment, authoritarian, bigoted ideologies that some associate with the language, conduct, and viewpoints of President Donald Trump.
I though we were avoiding playing the Trump card after the last issue we had with it. I wonder how many others have read posts on here and thought them to akin to trumpian perceptions ? or dare I ask for fear of what perceptions surrounds it.
Anyway, enough of the sidestepping my issue..... I'm still trying to find out how much the big industrial water users pay per litre for their water (especially those that sell it on for profit).
