Trade unionist Mick Lynch has told a crowd of workers and activists that the "ultra right" is causing division during the cost-of-living crisis, and it should be resisted.The general secretary of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) said he has received a "tremendous" welcome as he met and marched with activists and trade unions through Belfast.Mr Lynch rose to prominence last summer following a series of media interviews about a rail workers' strike held in the UK in a long-running dispute over pay and conditions.The trade union leader, whose father left Cork city in 1941 to travel to Britain to work, and whose mother is from Co Armagh, addressed a rally gathered at Belfast City Hall on Saturday.
