Bin Trucks Grounded in Fingal

Anti-bin tax protesters ground trucks in North and West Dublin

Fingal County Council have escalated the bin tax struggle by refusing to collect the bins of non-payers.

The anti-bin tax campaign has moved onto a new level in Fingal. For years, a campaign of mass non-payment of this unjust double tax has been going on across Dublin.

Today Fingal Council refused to collect the bins of non-payers. In response, residents in Fingal have taken to the streets and grounded at least five of the Council's bin collection trucks in housing estates.

The Gardai are trying to intimidate protestors by taking names. Joe Higgins, Socialist Party TD, has just been on the Pat Kenny show defending the protests.
