Demonstration in Cork in Solidarity with Greece
A demonstration is being held in Daunt Square this lunch time in solidarity with the Greek people who are preparing to vote in a referendum tomorrow.
They'll be asked whether to accept a proposal by the country's creditors for more austerity to keep aid flowing.
It comes after the country failed to pay back almost €1.6 billion to the IMF week which sparked fears they could crash out of the Eurozone.
The Greek Prime Minister's has repeated a call to his people to reject a bailout deal and warned them they shouldn't be 'blackmailed' into accepting it.
Noreen Murphy is a speaker at today's event and she has been telling RedFM News that Irish people can relate to what's happening in Greece at the moment:
