VIDEO: Cork homelessness activists defend protest

Homelessness protesters have defended a rush-hour banner protest over the Jack Lynch tunnel in Cork yesterday, insisting it never posed a danger to traffic.

Gardaí were called to the northbound bore of the tunnel at around 8am yesterday after members of the House the Homeless campaign in Cork unfurled a large banner from above one of the tunnel entrances at around 7.45am.

Staff of the tunnel maintenance building alerted gardaí.
