The event was attended by SIPTU, the Fórsa Union, homelessness agencies, activists and representatives from People Before Profit and Labour.

HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE have taken to the streets of Cork city calling for immediate action from the Government to address the housing crisis.

On the issue of far-right protesters who have held demonstrations at refugee accommodation centres and attacked camps for homeless refugees, Kane said: “These people want hate, not change; they pick on those they perceive as weak because they do not have the guts to stand up to those in power.” Kane continued: “But the government is not listening. If anything is a testament to this fact, it was surely the last two significant actions concerning housing that this government took: lifting the eviction ban and waiving development fees.”
