Staff at Cork’s main library are set to march on City Hall on Friday to demand greater protection in their workplace amid ongoing intimidating protests over LGBT+ reading material.

It follows a decision to temporarily withdraw their services from the public counter at the Grand Parade branch one day last week after they were confronted again by a number of agitators who entered the city centre library carrying mobile phones in an attempt to record the interaction.
