I dont know how they are going to clean that seeing as they cant look after our drinking water letting it run down roads bursted pipes left right and centre

Why not get the people on the dole to do this? It would get them out and about and would be less of a cost to the taxpayer – you can’t beat fresh air and a good hard days work!!

Too few people…stealth tax? Its ignorance of the issues that is the biggest problem. Once people appreciate the implications of compromising the integrity of our surface and ground water then these debates will become much more reasonable. We have a responsibility to ourselves which is far more important than moaning about tax. Perhaps people should try to comprehend the rationale behind the “polluter pays principle” before they are permittted anymore comments.

If the EU want our water sources clean. Let them come over and clean it.

There are too few people in Ireland to pay all these bills

This is about a stelth tax on people with septic tanks ie rural people !
