If you stood your ground and did not pay your water bill, it seems you are in the clear, as both parliamentary parties have now confirmed that they will not change the legislation to pursue debts lower than 500e.
There had been some tough talk by a few TDs in recent days saying that non-payers would be pursue for the outstanting amounts, and that those who did pay would be ‘defended to the hilt.’
Nevertheless, the party leaders have insisted that citizens must uphold the law and pay up to the point when charges are scrapped.
Politicians had another late-night talk session yesterday evening, and even treated themselves to a pizza meal to sate their hunger, likely funded by the taxpayer, of course.
