Bessboro and immigration raised as Roderic O'Gorman leads Green canvass in Cork  

Election 2024: The Greens were enjoying a light moment with a busker on Oliver Plunkett St — but the tune suddenly changed as the party leader was challenged by a voter

'Your policies are off the wall': Paul Donnelly from Ballinhassig raised his concerns about immigration with Green Party leader Roderic O'Gorman and Cork South-Central candidate Monica Oikeh on Oliver Plunkett St in Cork. Picture: Larry Cummins

The mood was polite, confident, almost celebratory. GP and Green Party candidate in Cork South-Central Monica Oikeh was dancing along Oliver Plunkett Street to the tune of 'I’ll Tell Me Ma' played by a nearby busker, to the amusement of Green Party leader and canvasser-in-chief, Roderic O’Gorman.

Party background team members commented among themselves what a nice canvass was underway.
