The Petition
We are calling on the Irish Government to abolish domestic water charges and respect our human right to water.
Access to water is recognized as a human right by the United Nations. The Irish Constitution supports the distribution of vital community resources, like water, on the needs of the common good.
I believe the introduction of water charges infringes on both of these rights.
Abolish water charges and ensure water is provided to all citizens, irrespective of their income.
