Anti-Bin Charges Protest![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A crowd of about 150 people gathered outside Leinster House last night as part of the Dublin Campaign Against the Bin Tax. A crowd of about 150 people gathered outside Leinster House last night as part of the Dublin Campaign Against the Bin Tax. They had gathered to protest against the passing of the Protection of the Environment Bill which is to be debated today in Leinster House. The Bill provides for the transfer for wide-ranging powers in waste management away from elected representatives and for the criminalising of the non-payment campaign. The crowd was very vocal, being led in chants and booing TDs and Senators who were recognised as being supporters of the Bin Tax. The protest was also remarkably free of party banners and logos and one activist was heard to mutter in vague surprise 'There are actually a load of real people here.'
