Bin tax: what our campaign is really all about

DAN BUCKLEY’S article entitled ‘Stop burying waste or waste will bury us’ (Irish Examiner, Dec 1) correctly acknowledges the scale of the protests against the bin tax.

Contrary to the statements of ministers that a mere 100 or so protesters are involved, recent figures from Dublin city council reveal that out of 164,136 households, 70,000 have not paid any bin tax in 2003.

However, Dan Buckley finds it perplexing that the protesters adopt an 'ultra-rightist' position by refusing to pay the tax.
