Group pledges more protests against Household Charge
Demonstrations have taken place across the country today against the Government's proposed Household Charge.
The nationwide events were organised by the Campaign Against Household and Water Tax (CAHWT) group.
According to the CAHWT, 1,000 protested in Wexford, 800 in Cork, 400 in Limerick, 300 in Galway, 300 in Carlow, 200 in Kilkenny and 200 in Wicklow, while thousands took part in a series of protests in Dublin city and suburbs.
Homeowners have until March 31 to pay the tax or face a penalty.
So far, less than 20% of households have paid the fee.
The CAHWT has pledged to announce further events in the future, saying that the campaign is "now gaining huge popular support".
