A champion of Cork’s homeless and the Lord Mayor have both issued appeals today urging people not to attend a planned anti-lockdown rally in the city centre tomorrow.

Caitriona Twomey of Cork’s Penny Dinners and Cllr Joe Kavanagh, who has also called on the event organisers to cancel it, made their pleas as several city centre publicans said they won’t be serving takeaway alcohol tomorrow.
