PIC: Dublin Pub Faces Backlash After Charging For Tap Water

A Dublin bar has come under fire today after introducing a 20 cent charge to customers who order a glass of tap water. The incoming water charges have caused a lot of anger, and thousands have turned out for protests against the introduction of the new taxes. Now Diceys Bar in the Russell Court Hotel in Dublin 2 have introduced a charge for a pint of water on their premises. Posting to their Twitter accounts, a number of lunchtime customers shared their surprise and anger at the new charge on their bill:

  The bar received backlash online for passing on the cost of the upcoming charge to its customers. We’re hoping this isn’t the start of a new trend…
