Cork's Imperial Hotel says Gemma O'Doherty event 'is not taking place' on its premises

The Imperial Hotel in Cork insists it will not be hosting a public meeting next week organised by failed presidential candidate Gemma O’Doherty.

The hotel broke its silence on the issue after days of pressure and a flood of complaints from people opposed to the ideology of Ms O’Doherty’s Anti-Corruption Ireland party, which includes a pledge to end water fluoridation, uncontrolled immigration and the HPV vaccine.
