There has been a huge increase in the number of people all over the country registering with Irish Water in the last few days. More than 1.125 million people and households have responded to the campaign and almost 900,000 Irish Water customers have registered, or 59% of customers. We encourage as many people as possible to register over the next period. The position is that if somebody does not register, a default two-adult household bill of €260 will issue and those people will not be entitled to the €100 contribution made by the State, having listened to the people very carefully.
