Letters to the Editor: Appeal to the public not to hold a protest in Cork

"I’m asking those who are going to protest to think of those who are struggling, don’t take our lives in your hands, err on the side of caution and please let us all be safe"

I’m writing this because my heart is breaking and I’m scared. Scared because there will be a protest in our city today and people I love and care about may be put at risk unnecessarily.

The virus is killing our people, its making our people very ill and fatigued, exhausting all our frontline workers, creating havoc with our mental health and closing businesses.
