The Elysian will be so wonderful
The Elysian will be so wonderful If you’ve driven around Cork over the past year you can’t fail to miss the huge 17 storey tower going up in the south of the City. It’s called the Elysian and when it’s finished it will I think be the tallest building in the Republic of Ireland. Now,…

Absolutely crazy in Ireland
Absolutely crazy in Ireland I spotted this sticker on the pier at Currabinny, Co. Cork.
