Great news all round for Cork,Well done lads and lassies!!Also no more clamping in Cork and at long last we are getting that horrific TOXIC DUMP in Cork Harbour cleaned up.Up the Rebels

These guys are brilliant. This is really taking it to the next level!

Fair play to them..the Fighting Irish are alive and well and living in Cork. (thats hard for me to say coz i’m a Dub).
Direct Action is the only way to get your message across.
Silly marches and protests are just watched and laughed at nowadays by the ruling elite.
My pride in Ireland has been some what restored by these men n women of Cork.

Well done to all in Occupy Cork. Great to see the Rebel spirit in action. I hope they liberate the Elysian next. It galls me to think that the taxpayer is funding keeping that place empty just to prop up fake property prices. NAMA is paying itself and corrupt developers 6 figure salaries and this is supported by corrupt politicians and their yes men who pay themselves 6 figure salaries and don’t forget the corrupt bankers on 6 figure salaries who are all paid by the taxpayer. Just who is representing the taxpayer in this country?

Fair play, direct action. Applauded

Well done lads !!! I hope it doesn’t end in violence….

Fair play to them but I don’t see being there for long. Nice idea though.

well done

Fair play up the Rebels !! Time for us dubs to rise again ??

legends

The banks are next then the dail and then the whole country.Ireland will be run by clever corkonians yeeeeehawwww

Love it! Where do I sign up to volunteer?

I would generally question the legality of such an outragous occupation and condemn same, however, my heart says fair play to them for their outragous behaviour. Go for it lads.

Wow! Hope it’s not whipped from under their feet after they kit it out!

WELL DONE to all Occupy movements for sticking with it and not giving in to those journalists purposely not reporting in the hopes it will all go away. Also WELL DONE for great attitudes and peaceful protests!!! I, like many others are with you in spirit. Remember, just because I can’t be there on a daily basis, doesn’t mean I don’t support you.

How do they manage to get so much time off work?

‘we are getting packed up and ready to move out’. There was about 3 tents left on south mall, the vast majority left when the weather got a little cold.
I work in town, if the building is for the people of cork, I’ll take a room, no more commuting!
This whole thing needs to be run properly; funds, payments etc. I think it is unfair on legit charities like Simon who have to pay costs for their buildings etc.
I also don’t like the way they’ve gone about this but let’s see how it turns out eh?

Fair play to them – it’s a good move if it is repeated across Ireland and pushes the Government to come up with a creative way to use empty buildings owned by the state for community use. However, it is of course true that this will only be a success as a political act to raise awareness and lobby for change on use of buildings – to use it as a community centre for people outside of the group, eg families and young people, without insurance would be impossible – so they need to push to get permission to use it – of course then they would have to show they are a properly set up group that fully involves the community in all decision-making going forward. More of this kind of thing though would be a signal to Government to do something creative with all those empty buildings…

what’s the legal side of all this does anyone know??

I can’t see why people are encouraging this?

if NAMA properties can’t be sold then they will become an even greater burden on the state – that will endanger the funding provided to legitimate charities and social welfare services.

Good info

The mobs rule and most contributors believe this is either morally right or socially acceptable. When thugs take over the property of other we need to confront the issue with immediate legal force. Every single occupier of these properties needs to be charged with trespass and consequential financial loss together with full legal expenses. If this action is not taken immediately by the State or NAMA , society will rush to the edge of complete breakdown.
Are these people for real or who are they really?
