The crowd, which included Cork County councillor Diarmuid O’Cadhla, held a public forum outside City Hall, according to Evening Echo. 

They burned an EU flag outside the city hall as a clear indicator of their feelings about Ireland’s EU membership.

There has been no official talk about Ireland leaving the EU.
