The protest in Dublin was massive last month and organisers are expecting the same tomorrow.

The protest in Dublin was massive last month and organisers are expecting the same tomorrow.

Sinn Féin Cllr Gary Doherty believes a huge contingent from Donegal are expected in Dublin tomorrow, to join thousands of people in the Right2Water national demonstration outside Leinster House.

The protest is the latest action in the on-going campaign against the introduction of water charges.

Donegal Right2Water PRO Gary Doherty says in the region of 15-20 buses will be leaving Donegal tomorrow.

Speaking today he told Donegal Daily “We’re aware of at least 15 buses leaving Donegal tomorrow, organised by groups such as Right2Water, Sinn Fèin, Can’t Pay Won’t Pay and others.

“We’re delighted with the commitment that the people of Donegal are showing to the Right2Water campaign, and the fact that such numbers are travelling to Dublin tomorrow is a testament to the level of feeling in the County against these water charges.

Doherty added, “Tomorrow’s protest will prove to the Government once and for all that no concessions will be enough to buy our acquiescence to water charges.

“We have seen in the last number of weeks that citizens in Donegal have been amongst the most active in the country in opposing the instalation of meters.

“We will not be bought by cheap promises by this coalition which has repeatedly failed the Irish People. We are taking no more.

“The thousands outside Dáil Eireann tomorrow will hopefully signal the death knell for the Government, and the beginning of the end of Irish Water.

Those travelling to Dublin are being urged to contact their local Right2Water organiser for departure and pick-up times.
