Parish priest rips up copy of household charge

A parish priest rallied protesters when he ripped up a copy of the household charge yesterday.

Fr Brian O’Fearragh was one of a number of protesters who tore up the document during a rally in Donegal at the weekend.

Almost 2,000 people cheered as the Gweedore priest and others, including Donegal South West Independent TD Thomas Pringle declared they were not paying the €100 charge.
