Property tax protesters ‘blathering loudmouths’

An outspoken city councillor has branded some of the members of Cork’s anti-property and water tax campaign as “blathering loudmouths” who need to “put up or shut up”.

Cork City Fine Gael councillor Joe O’Callaghan called on the campaigners to follow through on their threat and unveil the candidates they say they will run in next year’s local elections.

“I am sick and tired of their blathering and buffonery,” Mr O’Callaghan said. “Most of these guys have no mandate. I want them and the other loudmouths in this campaign in Cork to stand for election.”
