"Sure if it came to a point where u had no choice but to pay then u'd be signing the pack and claiming ur discounts so don't do it now just cos ur worried bout extra charges "
they are saying now when you dont do it by the end of the month you loose on the discounts so you have to pay full adults price for kids. |

No contract,no consent is the way to go.The legislation is not "watertight"
"Section 23. (1) Irish Water may make an agreement with a customer for the charging of that customer for the provision of water services.
(2) An agreement under this section (23) may include provision for—
(a) a method of calculation of charges under section 21 in respect of the customer concerned that is different from that applicable to customers to whom an approved water charges plan applies, and
(b) the application of rates of charge under that section in respect of the customer concerned that are different from those that apply to customers to whom an approved water charges plan applies."
They can't just send you out a bill without your consent or agreement to be charged. They need an AGREEMENT between Irish Water and YOU. That sounds suspiciously like a contract right? Of course it is.
And if you actually set up an agreement with Irish Water and later decide not to pay the charges...
"Section 21 (4) Where a customer (who agrees an agreement of charges) fails to pay a charge under this section, it shall be recoverable by Irish Water as a simple CONTRACT debt in any court of competent jurisdiction."
and what if you do not contract and do not pay if you do contract?
"Section 21 (8) Irish Water shall not, by reason of a charge in respect of a dwelling being wholly or partly unpaid, discontinue the supply of water to that dwelling either temporarily or permanently." |

800000 have returned their forms marked no contract no consent. And they cannot turn off your water. I think anyone filling out the forms at this stage is foolish.
So many wrongs with the process. |

Section 23 and 21 of what?
Irish water have said they won't be turning people's water off, just reducing it to a trickle.
The above "extract" reminds me of the stuff that was floating about before the property tax came in. That was nonsense though. The forms sent out have nothing to do with signing a contract. |

Correction. Irish water are only a billing company at this stage and do not have the means or right to turn off or turn down the flow of water. They have no process in place at present to deal with you not filling out the forms.
And you can't compare a charge to a tax. |

Water services bill 2014.It is not the same as the property tax.Irish Water is a private company.you must consent to a contract of payment by filling in the pack which has been posted to you if you wish to pay.At present and up to this point,water services have been paid thru current taxation methods,household rates.The cost of this to the state is € 1.2 billion.This is broken down,roughly at,1 billion paid by householders and .2 by business.
2 web pages and facebook pages which I am involved with ,will give you a forum to oppose these charges are as follows,"Tiger Reborn" and "Call for a Revolution Ireland".Both of these were set up in the aftermath of the banking guarantee,to question the decision and structure of bank bailouts and payments by the government to bondholders.

Nope. The form sent to all houses is a "water services allowances application form" not a contract for supply of water. If you want the allowances you fill out the form. If you don't fill out the form you don't get the allowances.
It is not a contract document. |

I wasn't going to pay, and then i was, and now i'm totally confused again. Are there really NO repercussions down the line for not signing? Is there a chance that people looking for college grants etc will be turned down on the basis that they haven't paid their water charges? Or are they completely separate bodies with no influence over each other? |

And if you do fill it out, are you agreeing to pay? I'm so confused |

The form is simply an application for allowances. If you don't want the allowances, children etc, don't fill it out. |

In my personal opinion,as a citizen of a republic,which is supposed to have a Government in place to care for and protect it's people with it's own laws.The formation of "Irish Water" was foisted upon our Government by the "Troika" under threats of bankrupting the state,by limiting the availability of credit to the Department of Finance.
The idea of returning the documents unopened or opened and resealed,is to show your disagreement with being charged by a private company for a public service. |

I remember that happening to me up the country a few years back in an area that was under a boiled water notice, the guy in the hotel bar where I was saying was telling me not to drink the water from the tap because of that, then after a night out I had half a pint of water and went to the tap without thinking, i wasn't feeling the best afterwards to say the least. |

They might be better off ,polishing up their CV's.I will not under any circumstances be paying 1 cent to a shower of chancers.
The Government is more than likely employing barristers at a cost to the state as we speak,to try to shore up the flaws in the decision to initiate the formation of "Irish Water". I personally have no shame in presenting myself to the courts to argue this case,I've done it before in other matters and have won the cases,as have other members of this site.
We as a member state of a fledgling European Union must stand up and be counted,the Union was set up after the second world war to facilitate cohesion of trade and passage for it's members.It was not set up to become a federal,cumbersome,intransigent feudal superior,which forces it's members to accept decisions without proper consultation and voting via referendum

Actually no, come to think of it, I'm not. If you've managed to confuse an application form for allowances with signing a contract then I don't hold out much hope. I still haven't found the box for my signature on the "contract document" that I have to sign. |

We as a member state of a fledgling European Union must stand up and be counted,the Union was set up after the second world war to facilitate cohesion of trade and passage for it's members.It was not set up to become a federal,cumbersome,intransigent feudal superior,which forces it's members to accept decisions without proper consultation and voting via referendum
"
What cases have you and other members of fab won? |

I filled the form out for the allowances but there is no signature box so it can't be a contract and I didn't fill the direct debit mandate so I'll pay when I choose not when they decide to take it out my account. |

Do you really expect a few million people to have the same opinion on something? |

The following is a quote from the AAA,(Anti Austerity Alliance). "How did we force the abolition of Water Charges in the 1990's ?"
"When Fingal,South Dublin and Dun Laoghaire county councils imposed water charges on Dublin in January in 1994 the Federation of Dublin Anti Water Charges Campaign was founded.Tens of thousands of households did not pay and public protests and huge political pressure forced their abolition." |

"I filled the form out for the allowances but there is no signature box so it can't be a contract and I didn't fill the direct debit mandate so I'll pay when I choose not when they decide to take it out my account. "
section F Declaration is the contract, where if you tick the box, you are, amongst other things, confirming that you are liable for water charges at the premises in question. |

Well you're confirming that you're connected to a public water or sewage system. If that forms a contract, then not ticking the box it will solve the problem? Not quite. I've never yet met a contract where a tick in a box carries the same weight as a signature. The problem is not whether you "sign a contract" or not, but more that the supplier of your water has changed from the local authority to the new and rather expensive body known as Irish Water. Not applying for the allowances makes no difference to that situation, and telling people it does is only fooling them. The bills will come anyway, and they might even be bigger as a result of not claiming the allowances. Whether you pay the bills or not is the only real issue here. The only way the problem will be solved is by voting in a party that says it will abolish water charges in the next general election which is most likely going to be in early 2016. |

My only point was that the declaration is the contract regarding your responsiblity to pay for the water, something the previous poster missed. As for a contract requiring a signature, not true, an agreement by confirming statements of fact also counts. Many insurance contracts work this way as well as opposed to requiring a signature... |

Europe didnt force this on us, our own government did.
They could have sold the debt, they had offers for it all, but their friends would have all lost their jobs.
Every multinational and government run company would have had their management staff replaced. That was what was put on the table "we will buy your debt, replace the management, and the company will comply with how we do things on the international stage from now on".
Ireland is ranked as an african country for corruption. Forcing multinationals to put Irish people they chose on the boards, getting friends and supporters jobs inside them companies.
Business men flying to new york, meeting the taoiseach, buying the company that got the contract for water meters before it was announced the charges would be brought out.
These water charges are not a tax, you agree to them by sending the form off. The breaks for children are decided by the government not the billing agency so they cant revoke them because you haven't agreed to pay.
The government wants us to think we have to fill these in, and is letting the company lie to us, but its all rubbish, they could in theory cut you off, but 800,000 people? come on. I also think it would be unconstitutional or them to cut your water off as its needed for life. In theory the Irish Army should stop someone from not allowing you to drink water in Ireland.
The sad thing is, most people in Ireland wont stand up.
Our history books tell us we fought to be free of Britain, but we didnt, we fought for rights, rights of the poor, the working class, rights that the current government is threading on, and if we were not all brain washed in school into hating britain, and not the acts the british did instead, we would see our government for what they are. They are in some cases as bad as what we wanted to free ourselves from. |

I agree with a lot of what you wrote here, however you might be surprised to hear that we are currently ranked 21 (out of 177 countries) on transparency international's corruption index for 2014 (1 being the least corrupt).
