A demonstration against water charges passed off peacefully in Dublin this afternoon.

Up to 150 people, who are calling for the charges to be scrapped, assembled at Montrose outside RTE, under heavy Garda presence.

Anti-water charge campaigners, who marched on the dual carriageway towards Montrose, have accused RTE of bias against their movement recently.

A statement was read by the partner of one of the five water protesters jailed for breaching a court order.

Meanwhile, another march, in support of the water protesters jailed last month for breaking a court injunction is underway from O’Connell Street to Mountjoy Prison.
