Cost of living rally in Cork to hear calls for intervention on price increases 

Mick Barry TD: 'An 80c increase in the minimum wage wouldn't be enough to feed the pigeons these days.'

People hit by the cost of living crisis have been urged to take to the streets this weekend to send a clear message to the Government ahead of the budget.

Thousands of people are expected to take part in the cost of living protest in Cork on Saturday — the second such rally in the city this year — ahead of what’s expected to be a much larger rally in Dublin later this month.
