End to water charges top of agenda for New D\u00e1il says Crowe<\/p>\n
Sinn F\u00e9in\u2019s Se\u00e1n Crowe has said his party will move to reintroduce legislation with other progressive parties and individuals for the abolition of water charges when the D\u00e1il is resumed in a couple of weeks. Crowe was speaking following a huge rally in Dublin\u2019s O\u2019Connell Street organised by the Right2Water\/Right2Change campaign.<\/p>\n
Deputy Se\u00e1n Crowe said;<\/p>\n
\u201cSinn F\u00e9in has a plan for a fair recovery that will ease the burden on the average family: our first priority in government will be to legislate with other progressive parties and individuals for the abolition of water charges.\u00a0 Our legislation has already been published and is ready to go.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been to the fore in the campaign against water charges across this island on a local, national and European level since 2003. In Government in the North of Ireland , we effectively abolished Water Charges and in the next D\u00e1il, we intend to do the same.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to see the leaking water pipes repaired and a direct investment in infrastructure and roll out of clean water right across the State.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur priorities would include the establishment of an Independent Commission on Water Services to examine the most appropriate public ownership model and report back to Government within nine months.<\/p>\n
\u201cNext Friday, gives us all an opportunity to choose a different type of government that puts the rights of the people above the desires of the well off and the well-connected.<\/p>\n
\u201cIncluding 50 Sinn F\u00e9in candidates, the 101 Right2Change candidates share common progressive principles. Our priority will be to eliminate this double tax and introduce the legislation for its demise.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe others have had their chance to deliver a fair an inclusive society. They have failed and it is now time for change.\u201c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
