Yes—household water charges should be abolished and funded through general taxation, with ring-fenced investment in infrastructure, strict oversight, and charges only for excessive use and non-domestic consumption.

I don't support completely abolishing water charges, but I do think they should be reduced. Water is a basic human need, and the fees should be fair and affordable for everyone.

Yes. The relationship between ireland and water is close and intimate. We do nt make the spanish pay for sunshine.
