Calls for legal challenge to Irish Water

The latest residents to block the installation of water meters in Cork have backed calls for a legal challenge against the establishment of Irish Water.

The residents of Ardmore Estate in Passage West said every avenue should be explored to prevent the rollout of meters and introduction of water charges.

They were speaking as local resident Elizabeth Hourihane, who ran unsuccessfully as an independent candidate in the recent local elections, joined them on the protest and appealed for legal firms to come forward and help.
