They will have to carry the can again, no matter the business. Schools might get it for free but shops and other businesses will have to pay for water. The cost is going to be doubled and tripled to pay for the charade the Government has continued on with for the past two years. It is just silly. The ordinary, plain people of Ireland must hump off or do what they like. People with polluted wells must buy bottled water but there is no grant aid. If they have sick children, they must buy bottled water. If they are afraid for their well, there is not even an allowance to get it tested. They must leave our county of Tipperary and go to Limerick to have their wells tested, for which they must pay €50 or €60. I rest my case, but I believe they have been abused and misused by those in this House.
