Politicians to be charged over Irish Water protest involving Tánaiste

Gardaí have been given the green light to bring serious charges against three politicians, including Paul Murphy TD, in connection with the water charges protest involving Tánaiste Joan Burton last November.

The DPP has instructed that more than 20 people are to be charged on indictment in Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

They include colleagues of Mr Murphy in the Anti-Austerity Alliance, Tallaght councillors Mick Murphy and Kieran Mahon.
