In regard to bin charges, I respect everybody's right to protest on any matter but I do not agree with people deliberately defying court orders. The reason some people found themselves in prison was because they defied a court order which is not the same thing as protesting against an issue. Such people deliberately engaged in actions contrary to the explicit instruction of a judge. I do not believe there is a broad basis of support for the anti-bin charge campaign. We pay a great deal of money for bin charges in Cork, yet there is no professional type of protesting taking place. It is confined to a select number of people and to one particular area. There are attempts to get a similar campaign going in Cork city but I do not believe it will be successful. These people should pay their charges just the same as the rest of us. While people are entitled to their opinions on the amount of charge they pay, they are not entitled to defy court orders or organise professional protests with the result that some people end up in jail. I do not agree with such behaviour – I never have and I never will.
