Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7The Cork Peace Alliance fully supports this initiative to broaden the anti-war movement in the Cork area. We would urge all activists to attend this meeting on 12 February.
maybe I've gotten a temporary dose of the 'completely forgot how to do the simplest things on me computer' , but does the 'upcoming events' section have nothing penciled-in for the 15th Feb...
Certainly the name of the venue is appropriate.
Yeah, sure there's a colossal demo planned for the 15 February. That's why the canny Cork heads organised for the 12 February. What's the problem?
The CPA have booked 2 buses for Saturday and a third is provisionally booked, to be confirmed on Friday afternoon so if you are interested in going, get in contact with Fintan (number in main article) and cough up if possible before Friday afternoon. CPA can't take the financial risk of booking buses that aren't filled and paid for.
The Cork Anti-War Campaign was formed at the meeting advertised above. Next meeting is on Monday, 17 February, 8pm, above O'Donoghue's Pub in Drawbridge Street. All welcome!
