Ervia CEO Michael McNicholas says it’s nonsense to suggest that enough money was being spent on the State’s water infrastructure in recent years – and that every State body is ‘pilloried’ in its early years.
He admitted that Irish Water ‘came up short’ in explaining the need for the charge, and the company’s finances and structure.
