Drag performers who were assaulted on a busy street in Cork City over the Jazz Festival weekend say the actions of “small-minded, hateful people” will not impact an upcoming event.

Drag queens Lucina Schynning and Krystal Queer were on Oliver Plunkett St on Sunday night, filming a video for social media to promote a drag event this week, when the incident occurred.
