Enda Kenny faces more water protests

Taoiseach Enda Kenny faced more protests from anti-water charge campaigners last night ahead of further talks among ministers this week on ways to reduce and ease bills for households.

Up to 100 anti-water charges protesters jeered at the Taoiseach outside the Radisson Hotel, Galway, where he was attending a business briefing.

The Taoiseach and his entourage were meeting Galway Chamber of Commerce and Industry and city councillors to discuss the state of the economy in Galway and also to hear a presentation by Galway Harbour Company on plans for a major port development.
