Demonstration against the end of the free water in Ireland

Thousands of people in the streets of Dublin.

Ireland is preparing to cut the tap free water, a counterparty to the country's bailout program in 2010. "No way, we will not pay" chanted the demonstrators.

The first invoices must fall early in 2015.

The government will not make concessions: "Nothing will change in relation to water charges said the Minister of the Environment Allan Kelly. I want to be very clear. The package set up is the best available. It has been carefully thought out. It is a complete package. "

After six years of austerity, Ireland returned to growth, the country even reimburse ahead with the troika but many do not see the effects of the recovery. The Irish group 2Water Right argues that citizens already pay for water indirectly through taxes. He fears that the public service will eventually be privatized, which could result in a price increase.
