Is Beamish having a moment? 'It boils my p*ss when I see 'cool kids' with a pint of Beamish' The 230-year-old cork drink has a pretty large fan base in the UK and in Ireland.

What is the purpose of this article. Other than to illustrate that "Cian" and "Ciaran" are insufferable dopes

Its a shame that very little of structures will survive. It would have been nice if they incorporated the arkady silo and the power station into future plans. But they will be pulled down soon enough

Five years ago, the Taoiseach announced that Cork would get a new city library.

But, like so many capital projects for Cork it’s nowhere to be seen.

We’re fed up of waiting.

Rally in support of Cork City Library next Monday at 4:30pm at City Hall organised by Cork Library Action Group πŸ“–

And if it does ye should all take a long hard look at yourselves. Shame on all of ye for elevating this flaw ridden film to anything other than "its grand"

A slur was shouted at the Baftas – but what followed was ... The BBC Tourette syndrome furore shows that the stigma exposed by the I Swear film is ongoing

β€œThe misplaced criticism arises partly from a failure to understand the realities of coprolalia. It arises, too, from the ways in which we now think about racism and diversity.” My Sunday @theobserveruk.bsky.social column online early on Thursday: observer.co.uk/news/columni...

Traditional vernacular kitchen tables frequently had long double stretchers underneath, sometimes mentioned as a place to lay out a corpse, or to place shoes or boots (which can be seen here) but it's rare to find photographic evidence.

He always goes to this level when he jas done something unforgivable. The way he speaks to women is atrocious. How someone hasn't documented it is crazy

"In the final analysis whatever the hypocritical mouthings of our "pillars of society" about aid to people overseas, it is on their treatment of the poor, the [Travellers] and the working class at home that they must be judged."
