Housing Minister Denies Plans To Charge Local Households For Excess Water Use

Opposition parties quickly slammed the proposals, with Sinn Fein's Eoin O'Broin warning it would be a stepping stone to introduce charges for everybody.

The Minister for Housing is denying claims he's looking to charge households for the excess use of water.

James Browne says while he's aware work began under the previous government on draft regulations, he's not giving the charges any consideration "at this time".

Instead, increasing the delivery of more homes remains the minister's highest priority.
