We want to guarantee those who have paid for water get a refund

Earlier today our Parliamentary Party Chairperson, Willie Penrose launched the Labour Water Charges (Fair Treatment of Customers Bill) 2016. This Bill will ensure that, in the event of water charges being suspended, there should be fair treatment as between the majority who paid their water charges and those who did not. This Bill provides for the full refund of monies paid by customers who had complied with the law within 6 months.

Speaking at the launch Deputy Willie Penrose said “This situation must be rectified and in a manner that ensures that law abiding citizens, which are in the majority, are treated fairly are thereby refunded their hard earned money. We cannot allow a situation to arise where people who comply with the law of the land, are left feeling they have been mugged.”
