Occupy camp ‘here to stay’ as Cork group plans gift fair

WHILE Occupy camps around the globe are being broken up and moved on, the message from the Cork settlement is clear — they are here to stay.

“We are going nowhere,” said one of group’s organisers Liam Mullaney. “Whether we stay on this exact spot or not remains to be seen but the movement is not going anywhere.”

Located by the river on Cork’s Grand Parade, there are currently about 20 tents on site, but Mr Mullaney maintains it’s about much more than simply coming out and camping.
