!!! PLEASE READ AND SHARE TO OTHERS.THEY AND WE NEED TO KNOW OF THIS AS FOLLOWS... FROM JOURNAL.IE Irish Water and your PPS number. So it has been (more or less) confirmed that Irish Water (a private unlimited company) will be seeking your Personal Public Service Number. Note the word, personal. Irish Water claims that this will help ensure that those who will need allowances will be able to get them speedily without too much hassle. But is this true? Or more to the point, is this necessary or even legal? Your PPS number is given to you and you alone. The only times you are required to use your PPS number is in cases of taxation or in cases of claiming social welfare. Under no circumstances are you to use your PPS number to aid or assist a private company. Imagine if you were signing up for oh lets say a new Meteor phone contract. Would you give Meteor your PPS number? If Meteor asked, wouldn’t you consider that as being wrong or possibly illegal? Irish Water, created to appease the IMF/EU/ECB, have already proven they are not a semi state organisation by responding to the question “what if the people of Ireland start to be very conservative with their water use?” with this reply “if that happens, we will simply increase our costs!” .. even the state (as much as it likes to think it’s place is one place higher than any God) can’t do that. The notion that surrendering your PPS number is to help people who will require allowances is pure and utter nonsense. If that is the case, why are the social welfare not dealing with the allowances? If Irish Water truly is as advertised, a semi state company, wouldn’t it be more prudent to use the social welfare? After all, the social welfare are best suited. They already know who are the poorest in society and they pay the child benefit to every single family with children under the age of 18. Using social welfare to distribute these allowances would also cancel out any concerns about a company (semi private or fully private) having access to legally protected data, such as your PPS number. As things currently stand, legally you are NOT obliged to give Irish Water your PPS number or those of your children. This is something that no doubt will inevitably see its day in court. The only reason why a company (fully private or not) would want access to your PPS number in Ireland would be because of the states new approach to taxation. In that “we don’t care if you disagree, we will simply take it at source” . . . One might call me a conspiracy theorist now but who thought the state would give revenue the power to take your property tax from source? On top of all of this are the FACTS that Ireland has being paying for her water supply since the 70′s through basic general taxation, since the 90′s Ireland has being paying twice for water, the second charge was levied and still is on motorists through road tax (yes road tax pays for water) … so you were paying twice already. The kicker is simple and completely over looked by all concerned. Those motor taxes and general PAYE taxes will not come down with the introduction of Irish Water. So you will be paying three times for your water. The third payment to a company that already insists that it’s prices will need to go up due to lack of funding from the state. A company that before it has even started has already cut by 60% the allowances. A company that wishes for revenue to take from your source. A company that has NO competition and will fully control water services. A company that is boarded by ex Fine Gael and Labour td’s. A company that is in every way shape and form as corrupt as the state that created it. Your PPS number is personal. Would you give it to Meteor? Why then, will you give it to Irish Water?
