Vita worker ‘will go to jail’ over €100 household levy

A former Vita Cortex worker who spent five months on a factory sit-in said she is now prepared to go to jail for not paying the household tax.

And Helen Crowley, from St Luke’s in Cork, said her experience during the marathon sit-in has made her realise that it’s time for ordinary working people to stand up and fight for their rights.

She was speaking last night as she joined members of the Cork Campaign Against the Household and Water Charges in protest outside Cork’s City Hall.
