There was large turnout at Saturday's Water Charges protest which the government probably hoped would be smaller but what Saturday shows is that the campaign is very much still alive and there plans for a bigger national march in a few weeks time. Organisers estimated in the region of 30,000 turned out and there were numerous other water protests around the country, for example in Cork, Limerick, Waterford, Clare, Galway, Sligo, Letterkenny. As always it was a peaceful march and people which eventually split in two with many heading up O'Connell Street and another section marched to Leinster House. The people used the day to express their anger and disgust at the government. In other ways this (anger) is reflected in the number of people who haven't registered for the water charges. As always and just like the Bin Tax campaign, Irish Water are saying just over half have registered but we know there are approx 1.8 million households and whereas they say 1.2 million would be expected to register. That way, they can make their figures look higher percentage wise. Then the way the media, government and Irish Water spin it is that they make out that those who have registered are happy to pay when clearing this is NOT the case because may feel threatened and frightened into registering. |
