Waterford Gives a Shirt campaigners take their protest to the Dáil gates

Activist group Waterford Gives a Shirt brought its campaign to the Dáil yesterday to highlight how Waterford was suffering over and beyond other Irish cities.

They met with a number of TDs and an official from the Department of the Taoiseach, where they outlined how a proposed Waterford city and county council merger will downgrade the city’s status, make it harder for the city to grow, and make the area less attractive to foreign direct investment.
