Official figures show more than 770k register for Household Charge
The latest figures on the Household Charge show that 770,980 people have registered to pay the €100 fee.
This evening's figures also include new rough tallies from local authorities of nearly 70,000 registrations on hand in offices around the country, as well as almost 90,000 payments awaiting processing at the main bureau.
Earlier today at the Fine Gael Ard Fheis, Taoiseach Enda Kenny said he was "heartened" by the increasing numbers of people who have registered.
Justice Minister Alan Shatter meanwhile said those taking part in a protest of around 6,000 people outside the Convention Centre in Dublin should "get a life".
The Campaign Against Household and Water Taxes has claimed that 10,000 marched at the Fine Gael Ard Fheis today.
United Left Alliance TD Richard Boyd Barrett was at the protest and he said while Minister Shatter makes comments like this, people are struggling to keep their heads above water.
