Thousands are expected to gather at 80 different locations across Ireland on Saturday. People are protesting against the introduction of water charges, which can cost households more than €500 (£390) a year. The government is saying the charges are needed for infrastructure, but but some citizens say they are willing to go to prison for refusing to pay.

We’d like to hear the views of people who’re taking part in the protest. You can share your photos, videos and experiences by clicking on the blue ‘Contribute’ button on this article. You can also use the GuardianWitness smartphone app or the new Guardian app and search for ‘GuardianWitness assignments’.

We will use the most interesting contributions in our reporting.
