An anti-lockdown protest organiser has said he will '100%' support Saturday's planned demonstration in Cork city. 

Diarmaid Ó Cadhla, secretary of the People's Convention, which is organising the event, said he supports the demonstration, claiming it has been scheduled for nearly four weeks and is unconnected to the violence in Dublin at the weekend.
