This is their fairly recently opened (and more recently closed) “sandwich bar” on Oliver Plunkett Street here in Cork. Loved their Triple Decker, even if it was a little pricey.

O’Learys Camera World make me angry
Filed in Cork, Equipment, Ireland, Oliver Plunkett Street, Photography, Sigma 10-20, WordsHmm. I’m seething! I’m angry! I’m pissed off!
