The organisers of a second march to raise awareness of mass dereliction in Irish cities say they hope the event will “shine a light, but also make people realise what’s possible” with vacant properties.

Sustainable systems designers Frank O’Connor and Jude Sherry will be among the marchers at Saturday’s ‘Walking Festival’ in Dublin, which follows the first such event which took place in Cork city on September 25.
