TDs vow not to pay €100 charge

A NUMBER of TDs have vowed not to pay the €100 household charge and will today urge the public to follow suit and resist the controversial tax.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has been accused of running a “campaign of intimidation” by threatening homeowners with fines of up to €2,500 if they do not pay the charge.

The accusation was made in the Dáil yesterday by Socialist Party TD Joe Higgins, who warned the charge would be met by a “massive campaign of opposition”.
