Two of the protesters in Greenacres earlier today
Eibhlin Ní Riain object to the installation of meters in Greenacres
Work was abandoned on installing water meters in a Dundalk estate today following a small protest.
Eibhlin Ní Riain from Blackrock joined people from Greenacres, including an expectant mother, to protest against the installation of the meters.
Part of the ‘Water Metering Ireland – Let’s Fight Back’ group, she handed out non-consent forms to local residents urging them to reject the installation of meters outside their homes.
Irish Water have already installed a large number of meters in Greenacres and are expected to return to finish the work in the next few days. She has encouraged people from the area and, indeed, around the town to display the non-consent forms outside their homes.
The forms can be viewed below…
Water charges are due to come into force across the country later this year.
