Cork North-Central TD, Mick Barry says the Government is not solving the housing crisis but today's anti-racism rally in Cork city made a stand against the far-right.

Gardaí were forced to intervene as hundreds of people gathered in Cork's city centre this afternoon for two separate demonstrations, which led to minor altercations between the two groups.
