Irish Water has launched a dedicated refunds website page www.water.ie/refunds as the government legislation necessary to enable the refunding of household water charges progresses through the Oireachtas.
Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government Mr. Eoghan Murphy T.D. has confirmed that once water services legislation providing for refunds is enacted, expected in the autumn, refunds of domestic water charges can and will commence.
