Call for wave of water meter protests

Anti-water tax campaigners have warned the Government it faces a wave of nationwide blockades after water meter protests spread yesterday.

As residents in Cork prevented Irish Water contractors from installing water meters for the second day in a row, a similar blockade was mounted in Dublin.

About 20 members of the ‘Dublin Says No’ anti-austerity campaign blocked the entrance to Watermill Drive in Raheny and forced Irish Water contractors to withdraw.
