Gardaí have warned some of the organisers of tomorrow’s planned anti-lockdown rally in Cork city that they could face a criminal investigation if it goes ahead.
A "substantial operational policing plan”, which includes public order units, has now been prepared amid fears the event could be hijacked by those intent on violence.
