Residents banish water- meter men from estate

Weeks ago, Irish Water came into our housing estate to install their dreaded meters.

I was notified, while in work, that they had arrived and rushed home to witness, and hear, how they were dealt with by residents, who were helped by a group called Clondalkin Meter Watch — a force to be reckoned-with.

The Irish Water sub-contractors were driven out of the estate by the crowds, mainly women but also a man in his 70s.
