Stop Shell Hell in Mayo!

Remember the Shell to Sea protests that wanted to stop Shell from bringing natural gas from the Corrib Gas Field ashore. They wanted Shell to refine the gas at sea.

According to the Wikipedia page for the group, Shell exited the project in 2018.

This photo is from April 15th, 2006.

A Unicycle on Patrick’s Street

A man gets on a very tall unicycle with the help of a ladder and a passer by, watched by a crowd all around him.

April 18th, 2006 when the St. Patrick’s Festival was still a new thing and street entertainers entertained the population.

He was good on that unicycle. Didn’t fall at all.

Distracted in Arrecife

Michael O’Regan in Yellow

Michael O’Regan has been selling the Echo newspaper in this spot on Patrick Street, Cork since 1969. He was a familiar sight to generations of Cork people.

I haven’t seen him in a long time, and this photo was taken in 2006. The latest information I can find on him is a photo taken of him in January 2020 when he met the Lord Mayor of Cork, John Sheehan.

I’m a SHOW boy

April 2006 and the Grand Parade was the scene of some merriment. Food and produce stalls were erected and entertainers entertained.

Note that they’re standing on the road? Now they’d be on the large pavement on the library side of the road!
