Water Protest today in Galway.

[pete]

I generally don't vote Greens but I think O'Brolachain is the best thing to happen to the city in a long time and he'll be getting my vote anyway.

I am no supporter of the government but I fail to see how sitting Mayor can escape any blame just say he didn't have the funds to supply clean water. Somehow the majority of the rest of the country have achieved it...

I know someone working in Belfast City Council in the water department where they charge for the water and she told me that Cork and Galway city councils had been looking at the system in Belfast with a view to doing something similar.

I havent been in Galway much in the last two years but wasnt there a lot of what was supposed to be recyclable waste going to landfill a year or two ago as well as this thing with the water. The city council has appeared to be a bit of a joke in the last few years.

I didn't say he doesn't escape any blame. The problem originated long before he became mayor. Of course the situation could be handled a bit better but its my view that FF are using it to damage O'Brolochain's reputation prior to the general election.
