Last night, dozens of Irish Water registration packs were burned outside Coolock Garda station following an anti-water charges march.

According to the Éirígí Facebook page, protesters made their way through housing estates before burning the registration packs outside the police station.

A member of the group Ciaran Heaphey said: "What is happening in this part of the city is unprecedented. The people are in the process of rising up against a system and a State that have inflicted injustice upon them for decades.

"If this uprising is to be successful we need to keep the anti-Water Tax movement rooted in the community and controlled by the community. Any attempt by any individual or political party to use this movement for their own narrow ends must be resisted. If we all work together there is a very real chance that the Water Tax can be defeated."
