WE NEED YOU!!!!!!

With over 5,000 Fórsa members in the County, we are encouraging all our Cork members to show their support of the union-backed ‘Raise the Roof’ housing and homelessness campaign, which will take place outside Cork City Hall at 5.00pm next Monday (11th March).

Protesters will be calling on Cork City Council to support a housing motion being tabled that evening.

Cork will be the first in a series of regional rallies since the Dublin Rally in October which saw over 10,000 people take to the streets outside Leinster House to protest over the national housing crisis, building up to a national demonstration in May. A similar event is scheduled for Galway on 8th April.

‘Raise the Roof’ brings together a wide range of civil society bodies, including trade unions, political parties and women’s organisations, to demand fundamental action on the housing crisis. The ‘ONE Cork’ network, which brings together trade unions in the city, has been driving next week’s event.
