The Campaign Against Service Charges held a meeting in Dun Laoghaire on Thursday the 5th of June with an attendance of approximately sixty people. The meeting was chaired by Donal Ni Fherraigh, the speakers were Richard Boyd Barret the Chair of the campaign and Mick O Brien of Sinn Fein. The flavour of the meeting was a blend of anger and nervousness at the imminent legislation which the PD/FF government are trying to push through which would request that refuse collectors refuse to collect the bins from the people whom have not paid the unfair double tax. Several proposals were carried including the need for more localised meetings which will commence over the coming weeks and from there arrange places to dump rubbish and to picket local T.Ds and councillors.
