I was there too
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the passing of Rory Gallagher, a legend in rock and roll, at a relatively young age.
Today in Fitzgerald Park we were treated to a great music session on a beautiful, sunny day as the city celebrates Rory’s music and life. Here are a few photos from the gig. You can watch the entire thing on YouTube below. Watch carefully. You’ll spot me there a few times!

Fitzgerald’s Park in Cork was flooded on October 21st last. The playground was completely off limits as water rolled off from the surrounding landscape. The pond had burst its banks and flooded the surrounding path. Seagulls were the only ones enjoying the scene.
We’re going to see a lot more flooding around Cork in the future. Climate change is making the world warmer, seas rise. Winters in Ireland will get wetter, storms will have more energy.

Fitzgerald Park in Cork City is a bit flooded after the recent rain. The children’s play area is totally flooded, as it’s lower than the surrounding ground, and the pond is overflowing onto the surrounding path.
They were waiting for the River Lee to overflow about an hour later!
