Paul Murphy has warned the Government that any attempt to reintroduce water charges will be met by the same mass protests seen in 2014.

It follows a report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) that called on the Government to revisit the issue, in a review of Ireland’s environmental performance.
