Alliance seeks to abolish water charges

An alliance of opposition TDs seeking to abolish water charges intend to force parties and other deputies to stand up to their election promises on Irish Water in a planned Dáil motion.

Anti-water charge politicians are also targeting Fianna Fáil for support in their efforts to get the private Dáil motion debated about scrapping water charges.

People Before Profit TD Richard Boyd Barrett confirmed that several parties are expected to sign up to the motion, which is being pushed inside and outside Leinster House.
