Protesters demand action on homeless crisis in Cork

Homeless people and those living in emergency accommodation were among those who protested on the steps of Cork City Hall last night demanding an urgent response to the housing crisis.

And they vowed to stage more protests until the issue is tackled seriously at government and local level.

Sinn Féin also called on the Government to release funding to the city council to allow it build up to 1,300 social homes on six major landbanks owned by the council.
