NEW FIGURES SHOW that less than half of Irish Water customers have paid their charges so far.

The company, which began billing people in January, said the payment rate “represents a solid start” to the year.

The Anti-Austerity Alliance, meanwhile, has called the figures “a massive victory for the anti-water charges movement” and encouraged those “who were scared into paying the first bill to join the boycott”.
