Ms Josephine Feehily:
Perhaps they thought the household charge would not remain once the uncertainty arose about who would do it. I do not know, but I do not understand the psychology of the person who could have paid €142 in June but paid €200 in July. That is what happened, and there have been 13,200 more of them since then without us having to do anything.
