The BBC report that NIO Minister with responsibility for Regional Development [and anything else that comes along – Ed] Shaun [I used to work with Ester Rantzen] Woodward has announced that the previously stated date for the introduction of water charges, April 2006, via the creation of a government owned company to run the Water Service, has been put back to April 2007.. whether they expect the Assembly to be up and running again by then is currently unknown.. although I doubt if it improves the chances.
A slightly inhuman presence that bans bad comments and works late at night to remove the wrinkles in Slugger’s technical carpet. You will need to know about the comments policy to stay off the fightin’ side of me and there is a bit of background about me here. You can email me using this spam-proof link if you really need to, and Slugger is @sluggerotoole on Twitter. But above all, remember, Play the ball and not the man.
