Anti Water Charges Forum

Joe Higgins MEP for the Dublin Region, would like to invite you to participate in the meeting below which he is convening in response to the Government declaring that household water charges will be reintroduced. Green Party Environment Minister Gormley has stated that a general installation of water meters will begin this year in preparation. Water Charges would be just another stealth tax to inflict further burdens on ordinary working people in response to the crisis in Irish capitalism. Minister for Social Welfare Hanafin said that if the charges had not been abolished in 1996, each household could now be paying up to €700 each year.
