Sinn Féin is calling for all water charges to be abolished, after three people were arrested during a peaceful protest at Greystones in Co Wicklow.

TD for Wicklow John Brady said a complete halt is needed to the "unnecessary waste of money and resources".

Deputy Brady said: "Sinn Fein have published such a Bill to abolish water charges and Irish Water. We need an end to the sham caretaker arrangements that are in place to facilitate the schoolyard style negotiations going on between FG and FF.

"We need political accountability and the means to debate and put forward legislation for the abolition of Irish Water, not suspension."
