Anti-water charges protesters due before court

A group of anti-water charge demonstrators are due before the High Court this morning, for allegedly obstructing the installation of meters in North Dublin.

Ten protestors are due to appear for allegedly breaching an injunction not to intimidate, harass or obstruct workers installing water meters.

GMC Sierra, the company employed to put in the meters, wants to exclude demonstrators coming within 20 metres of the works.

There is a chance the protesters could be jailed if they are found to have breached the court order.

Meanwhile, the Commission for Energy Regulation is due to face questions at the Environment Committee later over the pricing structure at Irish Water.
