Stand-off as Cork residents vow to continue Irish Water protests

Gardaí were called to the Ashbrook Heights estate in Lehanaghmore, Togher, when protesters prevented metering work.
About six members of the Ballyphehane and South Parish Anti Water and Property Tax group — who have disrupted several city council meetings in recent months — mounted the protest just after 9.30am when some residents alerted them that meter installation was under way. Some residents parked their cars over the stop-cock valves outside their property.
