A stunning 30k minimum at Cork protest marchSome say more like 50K
The weather was good and the march got under way promptly at 12. Traffic into the city had been very heavy so it was obvious there was going to be a good turnout but nobody expected so many to come.

The front of the march caught up with its own tail back at the starting point after marching a mile or so around the city. It started at Grand Parade, proceeded down the South Mall and around by Parnell Place, back up Merchant's Quay then into Patrick Street - where it had to be halted for a while because it had to wait for the last marchers to begin their walk around - and eventually back around to the full length of the Grand Parade to where it began. Stewards and others present say there was easily 30-35K there and some were insisting that it was more like 50K. RTE is wittering about 'between 20-25K' while the poor old Evening Echo in Cork who had obviously taken a gamble with an early edition cheerfully claimed 'More than 5,000 marched in Cork today'.
