Campaign begins against €100 household charge

A PUBLIC meeting aimed at building a campaign against the Government’s proposed €100 household charge will be held on the northside of Cork tonight.

Organised by the Campaign Against Household and Water Charges, which includes the United Left Alliance, the meetings are aimed at building “a nationwide mobilisation of people against the new charges”.

The group is encouraging people to boycott the charge, which is due to begin next year. It is believed that a nationwide membership campaign will be initiated and car stickers printed to support the cause.
