Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Noel McGuinness chats with JOHN LYONS from People Before Benefit about the Right2water campaign. The Right2Water campaign has called for a series of nationwide demonstrations to take place on Saturday, 23^rd January 2016 – including a major demonstration in Dublin city centre. 2016 is going to be the year of change in Ireland and that change begins on Saturday, 23^rd of January. The best and most efficient way to pay for water is through general taxation, which is progressive and fair.

Following recently-released figures from Irish Water that said that 61% of customers had paid bills, campaign organisers will be eager to get people out onto the streets in the numbers they had last year and in 2014, when tens of thousands marched through Dublin.

People Before Profit favours the abolition of water charges and the abolition of Irish Water.
