More arrests expected over heated anti-water charges protest

Gardaí are expected to arrest several more people over the next three weeks in relation to a heated anti-water charges protest in Dublin last November.

It comes as Socialist Party TDs, including Paul Murphy — one of four people arrested on Monday — are set for a showdown tomorrow in the Dáil with the Tánaiste, Joan Burton, over the arrests.

Mr Murphy told the Irish Examiner yesterday that he, party leader Joe Higgins and fellow TD Ruth Coppinger will bring up the events when Ms Burton takes Leader’s Questions.
