Cillian Murphy supports Vita Cortex workers

Hollywood actor Cillian Murphy has written to the former Vita Cortex employees in his native Cork City expressing his support for their sit-in.

The Ballintemple native said that as a “fellow Corkonian with stubborn tendencies” he saluted the workers’ refusal to accept what he said was an obvious injustice, adding, “I wish ye strength”.

“For whatever it’s worth, I really just wanted to pass on my admiration to you all for the courage and commitment you are displaying in your sit-in,” he wrote. “To everyone following this situation from the outside it is more than clear that you have right on your side and that what you are highlighting is hugely important to us all as a nation.”
