The launch of a campaign for non-payment of household and water taxes is to take place in Dublin this weekend, United Left Alliance TDs have said.

At a protest picket outside Leinster House, Socialist Party deputy Joe Higgins said it would be “a very, very big campaign in political and organisational terms”.

He said the only way to fight back was through “people power” because the Dáil had “a massive right-wing majority implementing a policy of making working-class people pay for the crimes of the property developers and the bankers”.

There would be “a major co-ordinating meeting” on Saturday at 1.30pm in the Teachers’ Club, Parnell Square.
