Poll: Are you boycotting Irish Water?

Do you plan to cough up?

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”.

We’re asking: Are you boycotting Irish Water?


Poll Results:

Yes (9686)
No (5304)
I wasn't, but I will now (866)
