Protests are taking place around the country today over the water charges…
Large crowds have turned out in Dublin, Limerick, Galway and Carlow, to name but a few, for the Right2Water protests.
Unless you’ve been living under a very large rock for the last year or so, you’ll know that they’re protesting against the water charges.
A major protest started in Dublin at 3pm outside the GPO but they’re 30 protests in total taking place across the country today ahead of the upcoming general election.
Here are some images from the protests around the country…
