Two US Troops Killed.

Gaza Health Officials Say.

Why is one taken as fact and the other framed otherwise ? #Speirgorm

But, but, the 4G pitch was vital to the Centre of Excellence and the future of GAA in Cork. It couldn't even be moved to the side, we were told, in case it caused difficulties for injured players.

Planned public transport disruption in Cork tomorrow.

Traffic will probably be mad anyway with various other closures.

This is a nice addition to town and includes a rarity - seating. #Speirgorm

All of a sudden a particular writer bursts on the scene and has option everything. #Speirgorm

When the "won't someone think about the children" campaign about scooters is finished I hope they move on to vapes and why they're easy to get, packaged in a child-friendly way & relatively un-tested.
They may not be showing immediate injury like scooters but it can't be good long term.

After a long absence the white van is back on the footpath. Wonder how it drives up on it. Puzzling. Any clues ? #Speirgorm

Journey of a 1000 miles starts at the narrowest bus stop in Cork. #Speirgorm

Espresso or a Baby Murphs ?#Speirgorm

Bit disengenuous from the Irish Times here. The track was built swiftly but the stages were staggered due to waiting for approval. And of course it attracts all the usual clowns with their "we should have asked the Chinese .."

It shouldn't really be necessary to have videos pleading with grown adults to let go of a children's book series.

Considering the whinging from taxi drivers about losing a few spaces to the new greenery in town (which really adds to the place and was providing welcome seating today) one would have expected the other ranks to be full to the brim, but no, just one or two cabs in each one.

High rise. #Speirgorm

I Circumnavigate The Island of...CORK!? The Island I Didn't Even Realise Was An Island...

There are many YouTube videos on Cork, but how many of them focus on the walk around the perimeter of the city centre ISLAND? Enjoy the video! I had just jumped off a ferry and it left me in Cork for…

A prefect example of "Do you have anything from the Allied side at all?". Tagging "non political" onto pictures of purchased Nazi memorabilia doesn't really cut it. #Speirgorm

The only Oyster Point I could find was in BlackRock, Co. Dublin.

Coming along the Passage Greenway earlier I spotted a bag of dog shit carefully placed on top of a lifebuoy box. Encapsulated how much of a langer the person was. #Speirgorm
