Five people were arrested and charged after what garda\u00ed called a “public gathering” in Cork city centre this morning.<\/p>\n
Garda\u00ed said the gathering “quickly grew in size and was joined by several HGVs and tractors, which moved slowly through the city centre for a time”.<\/p>\n
They said the Public Order Unit and garda\u00ed engaged with drivers, who agreed to disperse.<\/p>\n
“Directions were also issued under the Public Order Act to a number of individuals instructing them to leave the roadway, some failed to comply,” said An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na.<\/p>\n
Two men in their 50s, a man in his 40s and a man in his 30s were arrested.<\/p>\n
A woman in her 40s was also arrested.<\/p>\n
“They were taken to a garda station in Cork city and later released, having been charged to appear before Cork District Court in the coming weeks,” garda\u00ed said.<\/p>\n
“The remainder of the crowd dispersed peacefully. No injuries were reported,” they added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Five people were arrested and charged after what garda\u00ed called a “public gathering” in Cork city centre this…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":374258,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":{"0":"post-396019","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/396019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=396019"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/396019\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/374258"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=396019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=396019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=396019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
