Affect of water charges

Work Places• All surveyed totally agree that creation of 290-

340 jobs by water charges will be helpful and in this case citizens may have first benefits from government.

Subsidies

ConclusionThese charges may affect people’s budget and increase social and economic problems. For instance, some citizens couldn’t afford to pay tax which is quite high in Ireland and extra payment may create new issues. But in overall, people agree with water charge and reason for it is pay depth and gives a change to new generation live without any credits etc. One should, however, not forget that Irish government should not forget to subsidise schools, universities and families with children. In addition, good idea is to increase quality of water and changes pipes what may create new working places for citizens.
