This is the second time Brand has addressed the whole water charges controversy.

Russell Brand is joined by union leader Brendan Ogle to talk about this Wednesday’s mass protest on the streets of Dublin over the government’s plans to bring in water charges.

Thankfully, the comedian keeps his Irish accent in check for most of this as he gets to know the ins and outs of why the Irish public are not happy at having to pay for water.

Brand says he might even make the trip over himself to join the demonstration, which takes place in Merrion Square at 1pm.
