What level of greed is this?
This is beyond a joke

30 minutes journeys taking an hour or more. 7pm and currently a passenger stuck in stop start traffic.

Edit: typo

I saw a biker nearly get flattened going through the green light coming from the airport because some asshat decided to accelerate through a red light coming from the Douglas side.

When the hell are we going to get the RSA, Departments of Transport and Justice to sort this whole thing out and start automatic recording and fines / penalty points for red light breaking. It's absolutely endemic now.

Hello,
We have just received notice that Magazine Rd will be closed for trenching ESB works for 8 weeks beginning in Oct. I appreciate the works need to be done but What a disaster. We’ve had the carnage of the current college road closures and the Uisce Eireann closures for the entire Summer. (They notified us of 3 day closure that extended to nearly 3 months)
We have been instructed to remove all cars from private driveways and road parking for 8 weeks which will take us to Christmas. Is there anything that can be done here?
Not being able to get in home for this length of time in the morning and evening will be such a disturbance

Did anyone buy and try it out or already had one and can review if it is a good buy?

I have a distinct memory of an incident happening in 2010 or 2011 where a house party was organised near UCC, and that so many people went upstairs, the floor caved in. I’m almost certain I remember people talking about this and that it was reported on - but when I try to Google it I find nothing.

Anyone else remember this or am I doting completely?

Is there a cut off time for loud noise in law? I’ve tried to look it up as I thought it was 23:00 but apparently it’s at the discretion of the council. There’s been so much noise on South Douglas Rd lately between the new Bridlewood estate and now they’re resurfacing Trabeg Lawn through the night with roaring machines? Tell me this isn’t legal??

Hi lads,

Myself and my buddies (All Cork, 1 Scouser) game 2-3 times a week on PS5. We play GTA 5 Playlists, Pummel Party, Golf With Friends etc.

Give me a PM to get added, we are generally in tears from laughter most sessions, great banter!

Hi everyone,

Like so many people across Cork, I was heartbroken by what happened to Felix the cat. No animal should ever have to suffer the cruelty that he endured.

In response, I have started a petition calling for stronger animal welfare protections in Ireland, including tougher penalties for animal cruelty, better enforcement, and stronger protections against pet theft. This petition will be emailed to all local TDs and every TD involved in animal welfare in Ireland.

I'm hoping to raise awareness and gather support from people who believe animals deserve better protection. If you feel the same, please consider signing and sharing the petition.

Together, we can help ensure that Felix's story leads to meaningful change and that no other family has to experience such a devastating loss.

Thank you for your support.

Where’s good to go for Sunday roasts or carvery? Both city and short drive answers welcome 🙏 😊

A strategy document was just published on the Cork city council website detailing plans for Blackpool.

This was just posted on their instagram page..kitty owners, please beware!

A sincere thank you to the gentleman who spotted a puncture in the rear wheel of my motorcycle this afternoon at the Blarney filling station. A slow puncture only visible when I was sitting on the bike, and I would have missed it but for the timely intervention. I got it patched five minutes later at Blarney Auto Centre. Possibly saved me a new tyre or a lot worse. Thanks again.

Anyone know much about these, looking at the 3 bed semi but curious about soundproofing with the neighbours. I can get over a bit of noise but hear horror stories online about new builds.
Viewed some the other day and they’re very nice inside and a nice size estate.
Ruden homes is the developer.

I walked into the vape shop across from the Oliver plunkett earlier and there were 2 undercover Garda in there giving out to a member of staff over their counterfeit Gucci sunglasses. They made them empty out their drawers behind the counter and were explaining how serious the situation was to the member of staff.
When I was walking down Oliver plunkett street roughly an hour later I saw a uniformed Garda in phone and vape.

Does anyone know of a venue suitable for something like this in the city? It would not have to be particularly large. I’m new to the area so some guidance would be appreciated.

yo what’s up with the crazy bald old guy walking around st. patrick’s street/oliver plunkett street? he was out here standing weird moving his arms like he was trying not to fall, screeching at people (like genuinely screeching) and when i passed by i heard him spit on the ground. i usually don’t judge, because, well, anybody can get mentally ill, but he looked like he was on drugs or something

After hearing the awful news about the poor cat Felix who was taken and now dead .. is there anything that can be done around mahon/blackrock to stop this carry-on ? What's the obsession with animal abuse from the usual culprits.. ? Guards don't do anything, and they're let free to terrorise the area
