SF TDs to visit imprisoned bin tax activists

Sinn Féin TDs Aengus O’Snodaigh and Arthur Morgan are due to visit campaigners against the bin tax in Dublin’s Mountjoy Prison later today.

A total of 15 campaigners, including Socialist Party TD Joe Higgins and councillor Clare Daly, have been jailed for up to one month each for refusing to obey a High Court order outlawing the obstruction of refuse collection services in Dublin.
