Parents and staff members of a Cork creche have said they are not going down without a fight after it announced last week it would close with immediate effect.
Cork North-Central TD Mick Barry, speaking at the protest over the closure, said: "There's 150 plus kids set to lose their service and 14 workers set to lose their job."
"People are not going to let this go without a fight."
