Protesters against bin charges insist their action will continue despite High Court action against three Socialist Party organisers of the blockades and the Taoiseach, Mr Ahern's assertion that "bin taxes are a way of life".
Fingal Co Co this afternoon filed for a High Court injunction against two Socialist Party members who are part of the organising committee of Fingal Anti-Bin Tax Campaign (FABTC).
Ms Clare Daly and Ms Lisa Maher are named in the application along with party colleague, Mr Joe Higgins TD. Twelve other protesters are also named.
But Ms Maher told ireland.com : "The protest will go on - they can do what they like. I've got thousands of people behind me in Dun Laoghaire Rathdown, so they won't stop us."
The protesters also came in for criticism from the Taoiseach, Mr Ahern, and the leader of Fine Gael, Mr Enda Kenny.
Mr Ahern argued today that as Ireland now operates one of the lowest income tax regimes in the world, there could be no argument against paying for services.
"We can't go on trying to deal with effluent and waste and toxins without putting in resources," he said at the end of a two-day Fianna Fáil parliamentary party seminar in Sligo.
Mr Kenny said the protests should be called off: "Whatever the nature of their objections, let those who are against bin charges protest legitimately and engage in the democratic process to get their point across."
The number of lorries prevented from collecting today is disputed but at least three lorries failed to make collections.
The council claimed there had been only minor disruption and that they had provided a "99 per cent" service on the second day of the protest today.
But the estimate was dismissed by protestors who said at least eight lorries had been prevented from collecting.
One of those named in the High Court injunction application, Ms Clare Daly, who is chair of the FABTC organising committee, accused Fingal Co Co of operating a "propaganda campaign".
She also scotched claims that many of the people protesting were not from the areas where the protests are taking place.
"It's true that people have come out to protest in areas where they don't live, but, that's to show solidarity and because their councils will soon start not collecting bins of households who have not paid the bin tax," she said.
The campaign is on protest at Fingal Co Co's decision not to collect refuse from households refusing to pay the controversial bin tax.
Protestors have been preventing paid-for bins being collected if bin men refuse, as ordered, to collect refuse from households which have not paid the charge.
