The offices of Louth County Council where a protest will take place at 9.30am
A protest against the introduction of water charges will take place at County Hall in Dundalk this morning where members of Louth County Council are due to meet.
Councillors will vote on a Sinn Féin motion opposing water charges, with members of the public set to canvass them on their way into the meeting.
The gathering is expected to get underway at 9.30am.

The motion is as follows:
