Protesters ‘proud’ of Burton incident

Demonstrators involved in the anti-water charge protest during which Tánaiste Joan Burton was trapped in her car have said they are proud of it and would do it again.

Some of the 22 protesters who have been arrested in the past week in relation to the incident in Jobstown last November attended a press conference yesterday to announce details of another demonstration this weekend.

The rally, called to protest at what they claim has been “political policing”, will take place on Saturday at 2pm at the Central Bank on Dublin’s Dame St.
