Climate Change Activists Stage Protest At Cork City Hall
Extinction Rebellion is holding a "die-in" at City Hall
Extinction Rebellion Cork say the world faces imminent disaster if climate change is not tackled as a matter of urgency.
Around 20 campaigners lay on the ground outside City Hall this afternoon in a "Die-In" protest to highlight the challenges caused by global warning.
It follows a similar action by 200 protesters on Oliver Plunkett Street in April and two large student-led protests in March and May.
These people outside City Hall told RedFM News why they took part in today's demonstration
