According to today's Irish Times letters page "Mr Griffin has accepted an invitation from the UCC Government and Politics Society to speak in a debate on: “The Importance of Free Speech in Modern Society” in the new year."

According to today's (12th December) Irish Times letters page (http://www.irishtimes.com/letters/) in a letter from Ben English of the Government and Politics Society "Mr Griffin has accepted an invitation from the UCC Government and Politics Society to speak in a debate on: “The Importance of Free Speech in Modern Society” in the new year."
Mr English hopes that "University College Cork – a college with strong liberal roots, will not succumb to any outside pressure and prevent this event going ahead."

On foot of the success in TCD, it is important that Mr Griffin is not afforded a platform for his bile in Cork or anywhere in Ireland.
