Martin believes water charges suspension will run past nine-month period

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin has said the suspension of water charges will go beyond the nine-month period, as the Dáil will not vote to bring them back, writes Daniel McConnell, Irish Examiner Political Editor.

Mr Martin said the charging regime as we have known it since 2014 are now gone and said given that 90 members of the Dáil oppose water charges, they are unlikely to be returned.
