Less than half planning to pay water charges
Around a third of people say they'll refuse to pay the water charge. The Irish Times has carried out an Ipsos MRBI poll on Irish voters, which found that less than half would pay it. 11% of those polled were undecided and another 8% said it didn't apply to them. Wealthier voters are likely to pay the charge, with opposition to it coming from the lower end of the social scale. The poll also shows that a government decision to cap the charges appears to have encouraged some who did not previously intend to pay, to change their minds. The figures have been revealed ahead of another national protest is also planned for December 10th outside the Dáil.
