Open Community Meeting to address WATER CHARGES.

In 2014, for the first time PBPA will be running a candidate in Galway in the local elections. Kiran Emrich will be one of 50 candidates from around the country running on behalf of the PBPA.
Kiran Emrich has been a political activist for over 10 years.  He was elected onto the first Donegal Youth Council at the age of 16. He was involved in setting up Amach! LGBT Galway Ltd. which succeeded in having the LGBT Resource Centre included in the Galway City Development Plan. 

Concerned about lack of democracy & accountability, Kiran will be holding monthly open public meetings on issues affecting our communities. If elected, these meetings will afford an opportunity for a report back by Kiran Emrich on council business to the electorate in the area, a mandate on issues, and to take up public concerns.

This year as well the government will be introducing water charges. They rammed the legislation through the Dail just before Christmas with no time for debate and now the water bills will be arriving by the end of this year.
The People Before Profit Alliance is firmly against Water Charges as we believe they are a regressive taxation that affect most those who cannot afford to pay. Water is a basic human right and need and should never be charged for.

So come along to the meeting, hear about the People Before Profit Alliance, about the candidate. And why we oppose Water Charges and how we can collectively go about challenging water charges.            

ALL WELCOME.
