Water protests ‘just a taster’

Thousands of people took the streets over the weekend to tell the Government that they won’t be paying their water charges.

Rallies in Kerry, Limerick, Dublin, and Cork were said to be just a taster of the mass marches planned for next weekend.

Up to 1,500 attended a People’s Convention march in Cork City over the weekend and its spokesman, Diarmuid O Cadhla, said the event sent a clear message to the Government that the Irish people were against paying for water.
