According to various sources it is understood that the Sinn Féin party are claiming that the company currently installing water metres in Dublin has told its contractors that work will stop at the end of this week.

The news comes as the party’s environment spokesperson Brian Stanley claims he has received information that GMC Sierra has told its sub-contractors that they will no longer be installing meters after this Friday. Mr Stanley is quoted saying: “From information that I have received it would appear that Sierra, the main contractor for the installation of water meters in Dublin, has told sub-contractors that they will no longer be engaged after Friday this week”. Mr Stanley believes that the decision has come about because delays in the current installation process, which have led to large additional costs which are no longer sustainable for the company.

Mr Stanley has appealed to Minister Alan Kelly to make a statement clarifying the issue. Meanwhile Irish Water have said a press release on the matter will be issued later today.
