Paul Murphy urges landlords not to pursue tenants for water charge payments
The Anti Austerity Alliance is to discuss the next step in their campaign against water charges this morning.
It comes after figures released by Irish Water this week showed less than half of customers have paid their first bill.
Anti-water charge activists are calling on landlords not to act as enforcers for Irish Water.
Paul Murphy from the Anti Austerity Alliance is encouraging more people not to pay.
He said: "We're making two appeals, one to landlords not to pursue tenants. There is no financial or material interest to them to do so.
"Assuming they have handed over the name of their tenant to Irish Water, their responsibility stops there.
"And secondly, wea re saying now that all of those different sections of the anti-water charges movement should now come full square behind the boycott."
