Crowds gathered on Patrick Street yesterday for a protest yesterday
One speaker who addressed the crowd told the rally she had travelled from Co Derry for the event
Chairman of the Cork City Joint Policing Committee Councillor Colm Kelleher says protests like make the pandemic worse:
We saw before Christmas, when there was the breakthrough relax, people started gathering in social settings and stuff like that. And everyone knows what happened in January, but as a whole we are going in the right direction. And I know everyone is blue in the face from "Hold Firm" and "We're all in this together" but the science doesn't lie. And if these groups don't follow rules and regulations. This inevitably will never die"
