Meanwhile, the Right2Water campaign said it expected tens of thousands of people to attend its national anti-water charges demonstration on Saturday.

There are three assembly points for the event in Dublin - Heuston Station, Connolly Station and Merrion Square at 1pm.

People Before Profit TD Richard Boyd-Barrett said the demonstration would send a strong message.

"There'll be a big rally at the top of O'Connell Street where there will be speakers an music - a message about the next step for the campaign," he said.

"[It will] say [the Government] haven’t done enough - we want these charges scrapped."
