Those in Fianna Fáil have exposed their true colours. They are for water charges. They sign up with the troika for water charges. They commission reports from PwC detailing the plan for water charges. Then, a mass movement is mobilised on the streets against the charges. Then, they are against water charges. Then, the pressure comes on from Fine Gael and they want to leave back doors open for the return of water charges. By the way, that is the definition of the much misused term "populism". That is what populism actually means.
