A Huge National Protest Has Been Announced For April 8

A national water protest has been announced for April 8.

Organisers Right2Water are hoping that the demonstration will lead to water charges being scrapped for good.

They hope to gather tens of thousands of people in Dublin next month in order to make their feelings known.

Water Charges have been a contentious issue since they were introduced by the government in 2015 with large numbers refusing to pay and turining out for protests on several occasions.
