Water Charges protest

The Water Charges protest was a movement in Ireland where people opposed new fees introduced for using public water supplies. Many felt these charges were unfair or unnecessary and believed they placed an extra financial burden on households. The protests involved demonstrations, marches, and public debates highlighting concerns about affordability, transparency, and the government's decision-making process. Ultimately, the protests influenced political change, leading to the suspension or cancellation of the water charges, reflecting citizens' ability to voice concerns and impact policy decisions.
