Cork TDs have slammed a “sham” poll due to be held in Watergrasshill next week over whether or not Ukrainian refugees should be permitted to live in the town.

Elements of the far-right have been promoting the poll in the town north of Cork city, with posts on social media calling for local residents to back their proposals.
