Water, water everywhere

WITH the Met Office predicting a warm, dry summer, Regional Development Minister Conor Murphy must be hoping that we don’t face a costly drought.

He looks set to propose a three year deferral in water charges for domestic users.

Of course, with a European election looming it is unlikely that any party will rush to disagree with him.

Such a deferral will also take the decision well past local and general elections.
Comedy, as they say, is the art of timing.

Not that any of our politicians are comedians of course!
