How the media reported the Dublin water protest

The Irish Examiner chose to focus on the 'oupouring of anger' by protesters and organisers' stated determination to continue the protest activity. RTÉ presented a collage of phortographs and videos posted to social media websites, while the Irish Times chose to make three arrests the central theme of its report of the protest. None of the main national news reports on the protest made mention of the fact that Ireland is the only EU member state to be granted an exemption in the EU Water Directive, meaning it does not have to impose charges for water to comply with EU demands.
