Poll: Did you apply for your €100 water grant?

A lot of people haven’t, according to figures published this morning.

FIGURES PUBLISHED TODAY show that more than 400,000 households did not apply for the €100 water conservation grant.

The grant, which is intended to offset the impact of water charges, was made available to houses irrespective of whether or not they paid their Irish Water bill.

But the Irish Daily Mail reports that 400,000 out of around 2.6 million homes did not apply to the Department of Social Protection for the payment prior to the deadline earlier this year.

So today we’re asking: Did you apply for your €100 water grant?

Poll Results:
