Lockout 2014 Water Charges Protest

Directed and edited by Marcus Howard. A selection of speeches and short interviews with many non-political groups who are opposing the water charges and Irish Water. The protest was called Lockout 2014 and was hosted by a selection of non-political groups. Many people also returned their letters from Irish Water with "Return to Sender No Consent No Contract" in the GPO (which will feature in another video). Despite the huge number who turned out the protest was not covered by RTE.

Something I don't normally do but I am proud to say I was at the protest on Saturday 20th Sept.  This video sums it up very well...  A peaceful protest.  We really need to get more people to join us on our next one..  Well done on the vidoe

Very well done and within the space of a week the numbers have risen hugely. We are awake in the North South East and West again. If there are any TV channels willing to cover this and witness our protests there is a March on Oct 11 2014 Starting at the Garden of Remembrance, Dublin.

Fair Play to you all - Huge thumbs up for all those fighting this corrupt government and their policies....!

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable...Power to the people

[patrickwjoconnor]

great to see the irish people united against this unjust water charges, keep the protests peaceful and don't give kenny & his mob any excuse to get heavy handed,

[josephtravers]

Great video. I think water charges are a disgrace and I will not be paying the bill. Please come to protest in Dublin on Saturday 31st of january.

[clonard]

For a long time I had nothing to really justify this. But after watching that video, I feel proud to be Irish.

[paulredmond]

For every person in the Republic of Ireland, stand tall, make your voice heard, we won't pay. People stood at GPO. And lost their lives for us, we not them, but we will fight for what they stood for. We free, we can rebel and, we won't pay.

[sovereignrepofeire]

NOTICE.  NO IMPLIED RIGHT OF ACCESS HERE. To install Water Meters. Erect these NOTICES on your Gates and Homes. This is very effective and an important first step.

[JanoSlug]

Great turnout that Saturday & RTE didn't even report on it.

[chrisquinlan]

Great start to this video and good protest but this is only the start.
FREE IRELAND AND GO ON PROTESTING.

[kirwan]

That video gave me a shiver, that video gave me hope, that video made me proud to be IRISH again. See you on 11/10/2014

[johnpaulkelly]

il be there on the next one coming down from wexford with along many others this water charge is a sin NO CONTRACT NO CONSENT

[MrJoecool]

"No amount of Water will wash your hands Clean ENDA KENNY....!" - I like that one....!

[offspring]

People with wells dont have to pay thats fair enough as they have paid for it to be drilled and people with a private reservoirs dont have to pay because they pay every year anyway, but not the amounts that we are being asked for so yes if you have a home in the country and have enough money for these your sorted, the ordinary person has to pay 1000 euros for a family of 4 and still pay with your tax as well?
Rich get richer and the poorer get poorer.
