Committee on Public Petitions
Public Petition on Kiltimagh Water Scheme: Discussion
1:00 pm
Mr. Thomas Carney:
Correct. Also, we are not being given a free ride here. We are paying. We got letters that stated a figure of €1,350. Each home got a letter stating that figure was our part to pay. Members of the older generation are on fixed income and they struggled with that figure, but we convinced them to go to the credit union and make an application. Now, however, the latest news is that they have bumped that figure up to €3,000. I do not know how the older people, or even most of the families, will pay that amount of money. It is a moving target. If the Deputy were to ask me what the figure is now, I would have to say that we have no idea.
