Anti-water charge protestors adhere to ‘sustained resistance’ in Cork suburbia

One of the country’s first anti-water charges groups has vowed to mount “sustained resistance” against meter installation on “their own patch”.

The Ballyphehane/ South Parish Says No To Water Charges group in Cork, which has organised water meter blockades across the city and county for over a year, is now resisting meter installation in its own area.

Group members have spent the last two days blocking Irish Water contractors from installing meters in the Ballyphehane and Turner’s Cross areas of the city.
