Cabinet has approved new household charge to be payable from next year.
Details of the charge, which will be €100, will be announced later this afternoon.
It is expected a number of low-income households will be given a waiver from the charge.
Both the Taoiseach Enda Kenny and Environment Minister Phil Hogan had promised clarity on any household charge before the summer recess.
The service charge is to be a combined water and property tax and will be set in the region of €100 a year, until schemes for charging for water and a property tax are introduced.
The EU/IMF bailout dictates that an interim charge must be put in place for water, beginning next year.

Mine finished with the last dole cut and they reckon another €6 off at the next budget 
If my area is anything to go by it's still worth the trip home from the UK every 4 weeks to sign on.........as one lad said as long as Ryanair don't put up price its a handy few bob every month.
Probably should do away with the dole so gant? I can imagine at least half the claimants are at that, sure feck the rest we'll just put them out on the street.
Its all the add ons that are breaking the system ...traveller & wife 10 kids...700 a week dole...24000 into hand child allowance per year...another 18000 into hand for carers allowance for the ten who have AED...free house(ok 10 Euro a week)..medical card..back to school 300 per head ...free tv licence...free oil...tap SVDP for a few hundred here and there....costing about 100,000 per annum outside of costs from crime ie A&E for victims or Garda time etc etc...
