Bin Protest Campaign to continue
Waste charge protestors in north Dublin say they will continue their protests, despite a High Court injunction warning them not to obstruct waste collection in any way.
The protest action, which began on Wednesday, follows Fingal Co Council's decision that householders who have not paid waste charges will no longer have their rubbish collected.
One of Fingal Co Council's bin lorries remained in the Royal Oak housing estate in Santry overnight, after protesters refused to let it leave. And in Skerries, a lorry was blocked this morning.
A spokesperson for the campaign said none of those named in the injunctions, including Socialist Party TD, Joe Higgins, had yet been served with copies of the court order.
A full hearing of the case will be heard on Wednesday.
Appeal issued to householders
Fingal Co Council has issued an appeal to householders still awaiting bin collections, to take their bins back in from the street and place them out on their normal collection day next week.
The Council say residents should have bins out by 7am as routes and collection times may vary next week.
Meanwhile, anti-waste charge campaigners in the Dublin City Council area say they blocked six bin lorries for a short time this morning.
They say their action was intended as a warning to the council, who are due to stop collecting waste from non-paying householders next week.
