Future of bin protests ‘hinges on jailed duo’s views’

THE future of the anti-bin charge campaign is likely to be determined by the views of the Socialist Party TD, Joe Higgins and his party colleague, Cllr Clare Daly, who are due for release from Mountjoy Prison early tomorrow morning.

Anti-bin charge protesters said the attitude of the two politicians to developments in the campaign since they were imprisoned four weeks ago would play an important part in decisions on future action.

The Dublin West TD and Mr Daly are due to hold a press conference outside Mountjoy Prison at 9am tomorrow to outline their views on the recent escalation of the campaign.
