Anti-Austerity Alliance calls for meter protests

The Anti-Austerity Alliance has called on householders on Cork’s northside to unite and resist the installation of water meters.

The call came at a public meeting in the city on Wednesday, just hours after Irish Water removed five water meters from an estate on the southside.

AAA candidate for the Cork North central ward, Lil O’Donnell, described the removal of meters from Ashbrook Heights in Togher as a “humiliating climbdown” for the company.
