Cork Lord Mayor criticises anti-water charges group’s tactics

The Lord Mayor of Cork has criticised an anti-water charges group for targeting the office of mayor.

Cllr Mary Shields hit out at The People’s Convention yesterday ahead of another protest by the group at City Hall before next Monday’s regular council meeting.

The group called for the mayor’s resignation almost two weeks ago after she refused to allow her office accept a petition they had gathered against water charges, and which has been signed by almost 15,000 people.
