Fuel Protests: what next event POSTPONED

Unfortunately, following the change of venue for our event Fuel Protests: What’s Next?, scheduled to take place in Cork City this Sunday, there has been a significant increase in interest. As a result, we felt it was better re-schedule in order to be able to accommodate this increase in demand.

For this reason, we are postponing our event to a later date. All ticket holders will be refunded in full over the coming week.

[Breaking Point @BreakingPointIE]

VENUE CHANGE

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the venue for Sunday's event has changed.

The new Cork city centre address will be mailed to attendees the day before the event.

The starting time is unchanged (3pm).

Statement Regarding Upcoming Event on the 26th

Breaking Point is a forum which organises events for open discussion and dialogue.

We would like to clarify that our upcoming event in Cork is not a protest with the intent to block traffic, as wrongly reported by CorkBeo.

We hope you can join us this Sunday for discussions on recent protests, rising fuel prices, and the cost of living crisis.
