Cork solicitor says anti-water charge campaigners being forced to break law
A Cork based solicitor says anti-water charge campaigners are being forced to break the law in order to get their voices heard. It comes as Irish Water confirmed their spend on legal fees has tops €80,000 every week. Ann McShane was one of hundreds of people who staged a peaceful protest in the city over the weekend. She's representing people who resisted water metering in Cobh - which resulted in three arrests and 40 names being taken. She told RedFM News that people are prepared to do all they can to have this charge abolished: [clip]
