Final Push from Campaigners to ensure abolition of Water Charges
The Right2Water campaign is calling on people across Cork to make one final push to ensure the scrapping of Water charges.
Campaigners against the water charges have organised a national water protest in Dublin for Saturday the 8th of April.
