BUSES OF GALWAY PROTESTORS TRAVEL TO DUBLIN

Date Published: 29-Feb-2012

People have until midnight tonight to sign up to pay the government's Household Charge via direct debit, in four 25-euro installments.

The coalition aims to make 160 million euro from the fee, which is being replaced with a property tax from next year.

Meanwhile busloads of protestors from around Galway are travelling to Dublin later for a protest against the Household Charge, as well as water taxes and cuts to rural schools.

Connemara Organiser Padraic O'Conghaola says people are sick of paying for the government's mistakes.
