SOLIDARITY TD Paul Murphy, cleared of the charge of falsely imprisoning ex-tanaiste Joan Burton and her aide, wants a public inquiry and for all charges in relation to the 2014 water demo to be axed.

Murphy and five others were found not guilty by a Circuit Criminal Court jury.

Supporters will gather at College Green, Dublin, tomorrow while a rally at Tivoli Theatre on Sunday will feature Birmingham Six member Paddy Hill.

Murphy said: “An inquiry needs to be held in public.

"It needs to be independent, including independent of the Gardai, and it needs to be an inquiry into the investigation into the ‘false imprisonment’ of the Jobstown protest.”

He added: “We know the majority of TDs in the last Dail were very happy to hear we had been arrested at 7am.”

The party insists there were differences between garda statements “soon after the event and their direct evidence in court” which was key to the DPP’s charges.
