Anti-property tax campaigners set to run candidates in local elections

Anti-property tax campaigners are planning to run dozens of candidates in next year’s local elections to wrest power back from the main political parties.

The warning came last night after hundreds of campaigners picketed Revenue offices urging the staff not to do the Government’s “dirty work”.

In a series of co-ordinated protests, members of the Campaign Against Home and Water Taxes mounted pickets outside Revenue offices in Cork, Limerick, Kilkenny, and at two Dublin offices on O’Connell St and St John’s Rd West.
