The Irish Republican Socialist Party (IRSP) have again called on councillors to scrap proposed bin charges, calling it a double tax on working class communities in Dublin.
A Dublin IRSP spokesperson said in a statement released today: "Our party call on all Dublin Councillors to immediately scrap their proposed refuge bin charges which is yet another double taxation on the working class communities of the city. "We feel that the working class of Dublin are being bullied into paying a tax which is totally unfair, unjust and in our view undemocratic. The Council has an obligation to take people's waste."
The campaign in the Dublin area for the scrapping of refuse charges is supported by the Labour Party, the Socialist Party and the Irish Republican Socialist Party.
Earlier this morning, Fingal County Council gave an undertaking to the High Court that it would collect all refuse bins whether or not there was a "bin tax tag attached.
The High court on Friday, granted an injunction to two Socialist Party Councillors, Mr Joe Higgins TD and Cllr Clare Daly that required the council to collect bins whether they had the "bin tax" tag attached or not.
Fingal County Council had sent a letter to all households in the area warning it would leave any bin without a charge tag unemptied on the footpath. They did this despite a Supreme Court ruling last November, in which the court said that Cork Corporation had to collect refuse even if householders had not paid their charges.
In that case, Mr Justice Geoghegan also declared that if householders chose not to make the required payment, the corporation had ordinary debt collection remedies.
