Brendan Ogle of Unite union joined Brand for the latest episode of The Trews. Ogle educates Brand on the situation that has led to the Irish Water protests, the plans for the march on the 10th of December, the Irish system of taxation for major corporations such as Google and ebay in Ireland, as well as the effects of austerity on Ireland in the past seven years.

Brand encourages viewers from Ireland and the UK to attend the planned water protests on December 10th.

“Don’t go to work that day, take the day off work ... and join this protest in Dublin,” he says.
