#whattheduck?

The set-up of Irish Water is a saga that continues to touch every household so on the final registration day for home owners to sign up to the utility company, we took a duck out of water to say farewell to free bath water.

Betfair's team in Dublin today inflated a purpose built giant yellow bath duck bearing #whattheduck, in Grand Canal Square. We want to put a smile on the faces of passers-by with the 'Duck out of Water', as the nation gets ready for their first water bills.

Betfair's Barry Orr commented today: "#whattheduck? It's what people have thought about the on-going Irish Water debate. Confusion has reigned throughout the saga and no one is more confused than the 25 foot yellow duck sitting stranded and landlocked in Grand Canal square. 

"A lot of homeowners are at odds over this charge and our own odds make between 71% and 90% of required households signing up to Irish Water a red-hot favourite at 1/4''
