The Environment Minister says there's "nothing harsh" at all about the Government's new water charges packages - including the penalties.
Alan Kelly was speaking on his way into this morning's special Cabinet meeting on the measures he's due to announce to the Dáil later.
The package - which is likely to cap charges at €160 - is also likely to include compliance measures - and the possibility of court appearances for those who don't pay.
Minister Alan Kelly says all will be revealed later - but he says there's nothing "harsh" about the charge package.
