Footage from behind the main stage of some of the thousands of people out protesting water charges in Dublin this weekend. It now looks likely that the attempt to introduce a water charge, leading to water privatisation has been knocked back.
This was a mass campaign, 70% of the population were involved in the boycott at peak and protests took place on the streets and in communities all over the country. Hundreds were criminalised through being arrested at the protests. It's essential that charges are dropped and an amnesty declared for all those who took part in this mass campaign that involved most people in the country at peak.
