This will not go down well with diners.
Irish restaurants are going to start charging customers for tap water, according to The Irish Mirror.
You can thank Irish Water for this increase, as restaurants owners will now be paying higher rates.
An industry insider has said: “We have been told by Irish Water to expect increases.
“There are more than 50 different charges in different locations, so one county might have a higher charge than another.”
This will have an impact on the consumer, with Adrian Cummins of The Restaurants Association of Ireland stating:
“Some restaurants will charge for tap water if commercial water charges increase.
“I would say over 50% will implement the practice.
“Some charge €1 for a large jug or bottle of [tap] water, which is unlimited during the course of the meal.”
We can imagine a lot of death stares happening now come billing time.
