Thousands are expected to turn out for the national demonstration on water charges tomorrow in Dublin city centre.

The protest will begin in York Street at 12.30pm and will march past the Dáil.

Alan Kelly says he's "confident" the revised package for Irish Water is bringing the public with the Government.

The TV host and comedian says Irish people should leave work to take part in the major demonstration at Leinster House tomorrow.

Organisers say the demonstration will continue until 7pm - and are encouraging people to attend after work.
