Refuse charge protestors rubbish ‘mob’ accusation

THE ORGANISERS of a protest over service charges have denied they acted like a “mob” on Tuesday night.

Furious town councillors in Tramore in county Waterford believe that a protest outside the chamber on Tuesday night and the storming of the monthly meeting were politically motivated.

The claim has infuriated those behind the anti-service charge campaign who say that politicians are merely trying to deflect attention away from the real issue - that the service charges are a form of double taxation.
