Covid rally organisers refuse to defer march for Ashling Murphy vigil

'It's pig headedness, especially at a time when men are meant to be listening'

Mary Crilly described the group's refusal to delay, defer or postpone the march or to alter its route to avoid passing the city centre vigil as “outrageous and selfish”.

The head of the Cork Sexual Violence Centre has condemned the organisers of a Covid ‘civil rights and truth’ rally for refusing to defer it to avoid clashing with a vigil for Ashling Murphy, who was murdered in Tullamore on Wednesday.

Mary Crilly described the group's refusal to delay, defer or postpone the march or to alter its route to avoid passing the city centre vigil as “outrageous and selfish”.
