Pics: Taoiseach confronted by water charge protesters
Kenny was attending a book launch at the Mansion House earlier today.
IT WAS THE Taoiseach’s turn to face protesters today as he was confronted by a small group outside the Mansion House in Dublin.
Kenny was there for the launch of the Art and Architecture Book of Ireland, with Minister Heather Humphries.
Gardaí on the scene held back the group as the Taoiseach entered the Mansion House but a spokesperson said there was no major trouble.
The event had finished so Kenny has made his exit and gardaí said the water charge protest group has started to disperse.
It was a much more mellow scene than the one that his Tánaiste Joan Burton met with when she left a graduation ceremony at a higher education college in Jobstown yesterday. Burton was trapped in her car for more than two hours and eventually had to be speedily escorted out of the area in a garda patrol car.
Today she rejected claims that it was a peaceful protest.
