We, the undersigned, declare that water is a human right and must not be turned into a commodity only available to those who can afford to pay for it.

We are opposed to the introduction of water charges and believe that Irish Water is a giant quango wasting public money on consultants and branding.

We are opposed to private companies supplying our water. We believe that privatisation will inevitably follow charges.

We are opposed to any plans that would give providers power to cut off water supply for non payment of the charge.

We already pay for our water through general taxation. The Government needs to invest in fixing the leaks in the system.
