Bord Gáis is currently posting to every household in the State a 16-page booklet on plans to establish Irish Water.
Eight pages are in English and eight pages in Irish.
It is a PR initiative. In at least three occasions the booklet tells the reader that no household on the public water system will be asked to pay water charges before 2014.
On every page there is repetition.
For further information the reader is given a 1850 number, no inclusion of an email address for further informaiton.
How much did this booklet cost to produce? How many people will read it? What proportion of those who read it will read the Irish version.
Every day we are being told the country is broke. How much did this booklet cost?
Surely an Irish version could have been deliverd to Gaeltacht areas and available in libraries throughout the State.
