Beware of Irish Water barriers on footpaths.

Went home to visit the parents last Sunday, came out Monday morning and Irish water were installing meters outside the house. Windy day and they didn't weigh down the barriers they had up so they were blowing up against the car they also splattered the side in cement which I didn't see at the time. Went out and fucked the barriers across the road in a bit of a rage as there was no workers to be seen. Looked out the window a while later they had put them back up and they had fallen against the car again. I moved the car out of the way and was waiting to see some of the workers but no sign. Now I haven't been out protesting and I know they're only doing their job but fu*k me like how hard is it to knock on the door and tip people off to move the car or at least fix the barriers in place. Washed her yesterday to see scratches and cement on the side of the car. Managed to pick off most of the cement but left some on to take photos. If ye have the cars on the road just be wary cos they clearly have no respect for people's property. Not tarring them all but there was no cop on with these lads. Rant over.

Few people were saying I should get onto them but what would I get out of it? Would it be worth my while? It was murphys were doing it. The van was a blur going past couldn't get any details. I think it's the same company doing all the work. From what I've seen anyway
 
send the photos on to them and document everything
dont let them off with it
mate of mine got compensated by luas workers when his car was splatered with concrete
cost of getting the concrete removed
i think they will cough up
its only right if they do
fookin disgrace to see that happen
at least try and be compensated for what happened your car at no fault of yours
your entitled to have your property free from damage from any private comapny carrying out work
its fairly straight forward to me you even have photos
hope you get sorted


this might help to find a number or e mail to start correspondence

Aww man that sucks! I'd be absolutely sickened.

Well you have photo evidence, might be worth a shot. Talk to a
Local solicitor first.
 
We have problems with them cutting our lines and we bill them for any damage caused and the cost of installing new lines, ive no problem with irish water contractors doing their job, just take and keep all of the pictures of the damage and that it was there equipment that did it, send it to irish water with yur details and tell themuyou want your property repaired to your satisfaction. Go straight to irish water and let them deal with the contractors,
 
Cheers lads. Thanks for that comprehensive guide colm I'll Defo get onto them. I've dates and photos Im only sorry I didn't take more or not clean off some of the cement. At the very least it might prevent others having the same experience. Only thing I'm worried about is them coming back to me as there is other marks on the car (it is 15 years old after all) and say well couldn't the marks Im complaining about have been there already
 
I would defo be looking for my car to sorted out, doesn't matter who the company is they can treat people's property with such dis regard
 
Well, u get nothing if u dont ask... If you ask, you might get something
