'I can't see the issue': Car enthusiast unfazed by public reaction to Cork city meet

The car enthusiast said the event was a lot safer than scenes of revelry observed in Cork City centre over the weekend and the past few weeks. 

Gardaí said that they “observed in excess of 250 vehicles and 700–800 persons gathered” in Eastgate, Little Island, outside Cork City last Saturday evening. File picture: Denis Minihane.

An attendee at the Cork car meet described as "a disgraceful gathering" by Gardaí has said the public reaction to the event is "very annoying". 

Gardaí in Cork dispersed a large crowd of people in Eastgate, Little Island, outside Cork City last Saturday evening.
