Finian McGrath resists paying for water despite Cabinet position

Super junior minister Finian McGrath is still resisting paying water charges despite having a place at the Cabinet table.

Pressure has been put on the minister of state with special responsibility for disability issues to pay water charges, including from his own ministerial colleges.

However, yesterday Mr McGrath said he would seek advice from the Attorney General as he does not want to be “forced into a position where I don’t have to go”.
