MOTION NO. 28

MOTION: Councillor M. Devine

That this Council calls on the Government to;

Immediately reverse domestic water charges which are an unfair and unjust double charge being forced on already struggling households.

Listen to the widespread public anger that exists towards this Government and Irish Water by the Irish people, who are now rightly organising and mobilising in protest and opposition to these water charges through the Right2Water public campaign which includes activists, citizens, community groups, political parties and trade unions.

REPORT:

Irish Water is the now the Water Authority for all matters associated with water and foul wastewater in Ireland. Queries from individual councillors are dealt with via the dedicated Local Representative Support Desk which has been set up for this purpose. For this reason, if a councillor wishes to progress a query, we would ask that you advise him/her to submit same directly to the Local Representative Support Desk where it will be dealt with appropriately. This can be done via email localrepsupport@water.ie or calling 1890 278 278 and asking for the Local Representative Support Desk.

If the motion is passed the terms of the motion will be forwarded to the relevant Ministers and, when received, a copy of their replies will be circulated to the Members.
