Fireworks Over Cobh

Fireworks lit the sky over Cobh last night as part of the St. Patrick’s Day festivities. I’m glad Henry heard about the event as I had no idea it was on!

St. Patrick’s Day 2022

The first St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Cork since 2019 and the rain held off for most of the day and a great parade was put on by the city.

The photos above don’t do it justice. I couldn’t include every group but hopefully it will be an indication of the effort put in by a huge number of people. Well done everyone who took part!

These four buildings on North Main Street, Cork, are an eyesore. Thankfully they have been the subject of a compulsory purchase order by the local council so hopefully they will be saved and developed.

Look up for history

The building that now houses Golden Discs on Patrick’ Street in Cork used to be the Pavilion Cinema. If you look closely at the top of the building you can see the faded lettering of that establishment.
