We’re With You Ukraine
A banner above the carpark off Grand Parade proclaims, “WE’RE WITH YOU UKRAINE”.
Ferris Wheel in Bright Sunlight
The Ferris Wheel on the Grand Parade last December. A glorious, sunny, and mild December afternoon just before the new year.
Cork 2005
Older visitors will recognise this poster if they were around Cork in 2005 when the city was “European Capital of Culture”. This poster was draped over the city library, and I was very lucky to capture a tour bus as it drove past on a fine June day, exactly 17 years ago today.
Silhouettes on Grand Parade

No stalls this year which is disappointing but with Covid19 on the rampage it’s understandable. Masks were seen inside and out among young and…
Covid19 Supporters Unite
Supporters of SARS-CoV-2 gathered on the Grand Parade yesterday to encourage members of the public to get infected with the virus instead of being vaccinated as it’s “just like the flu” or “the vaccine makes you sick”.
