THE WEEKEND BROUGHT thousands of people out onto the streets, for another round of Right2Water protests against the water charges.

Dubliner Jamie Harrington was among them. But he was filming himself… walking through the centre of the march cheerfully shouting at protesters to “just pay your bills”.

Ballsy.

Surprisingly, he seems to have emerged intact. Jamie posted on his Facebook.

Just pay your water bills for Jaysus sake.This video was a joke.

A lot of people seem to agree with him – it’s clocked up 300,000 views and been shared almost 2,000 times so far.

In fact, even the marchers seemed to enjoy the joke:

Jamie is the lad behind this Humans of Dublin story that went viral last year.
