Port protesters asked to stop for sake of Cobh's tourism industry

Those who held a protest against the Port of Cork's closing of a supposed public right of way for the arrival of Cobh's first cruise liner of the year have been urged to ditch their placards for the sake of the town's tourism industry.

County councillors have pleaded with the protestors at last Monday's arrival of the MV Astoria not to repeat it as the port prepares to welcome a record 102 cruise liners this year.
