One of the many butchers in The English Market. I’ve had brisket a few times, but only ever in the USA. Doesn’t seem to be a popular cut of meat here. Taken on the World Wide Photowalk on July 18th.
Cars parked on South Mall, Cork. The financial district of the city.
Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Blackrock, Cork.
