Solidarity protest with 'Jobstown 23'

There was a protest this evening in Dublin outside of a garda station, to show solidarity with those who face charges in relation to a water charge demonstration in Jobstown last year.

About 80 protesters gathered outside Tallaght Garda Station this evening.

It emerged last week that the Director of Public Prosecutions is to charge up to 23 protesters after Tánaiste Joan Burton was trapped in her car for around two hours last year.
