The Green Party today launched its campaign for a referendum on the public ownership of water. The campaign was launched in the Hilton Hotel, Dublin 2, by Green Party Leader Eamon Ryan, Deputy Leader Cllr Catherine Martin, Chairman and Justice Spokesperson Cllr Roderic O'Gorman, and Environment Spokesperson Cllr Malcolm Noonan.
The Green Party is calling on the Government to advance the legislation for a referendum on public ownership of water as a priority, and to ensure that it is included with the Bills already scheduled to be passed in order to hold other referenda in 2015.
Green Party councillors across the country have already submitted motions to their respective councils in Louth, Fingal, Dublin City, Dublin South, Dun Laoghaire
