Water charge protest sees ministers stuck in school

Anti-water charge demonstrators prevented two ministers from leaving a school as protest against the levy continued.

Education Minister Jan O’Sullivan and Equality Minister Aodhán Ó Ríordáin were unable to exit the premises for about 40 minutes as a small number of demonstrators blocked the way out of the school in North Dublin.

The ministers left their car to wait out the protest back inside Gaelcoláiste Reachrann in Donaghamede.
