From the article:
One senior industry source said that while Ireland hasn’t yet lost out on any significant projects due to water, “it’s only a matter of time based on the current trajectory”.
Big businesses, who contribute tens of billions a year to the Irish economy, are “privately very worried about water”, the source added.
“All it will take will be one event where a project is refused a water connection, and it will have a devastating effect on foreign direct investment.”
Are we actually in danger of any water shortages because we don’t have enough or don’t get enough?
Or is it just piss poor management and decades of neglect of the water we do have and get?
Cause I’m kinda leaning towards the latter
But I thought that spending millions on creating a quango called Irish Water with 176 managers on over €100,000 a year would solve all our water issues?
Make people pay for waste and fund it properly.
How about electricity? In the Netherlands new houses sit empty as there is no electricity capacity anymore.
There’s no way to read the articles in Ireland sub. You end up with shit posts about the price of crisps and butthurt about this and that.
It’s simply impossible to spend on infrastructure in this country.
But Brendan Gleason said were the United States of Ireland should have a population of 10 million
