Supporters of one of Ireland’s last surviving traditional funfairs took to the streets of Cork city as they stepped up their campaign to save it.

Members of the Save Piper’s Action Group, which has been campaigning for over a year for the restoration of Piper’s Funfair at its traditional location in Kinsale, where it operated since 1939, called for a €30,000 bond required by the local authority to be scrapped.
