Members of the Anti-Austerity collected over 5,000 signatures and brought them into Irish Water’s HQ, as a token of petition for the company to reveal the number of people who have complied with payment.

Socialist Party TD said that “I think the reason Irish Water isn’t releasing them is contained in their answer – that it’s not ‘helpful’ to do so.”

“I think it wouldn’t’ be helpful for the Government or Irish Water to release the figures, because I’d say the payment levels are on the floor.”

He added that the petition demanded the release of the figures after 700,000 bills had passed their payment date.

Mr. Murphy continued “We think people have a right to know.”, and finished by saying that “both Irish Water and the government had widely publicised registration figures when it suited them.”
