Public Telephone
I love you An old and empty phone booth lies neglected. Notice the lock and bolt on the door? I get the feeling this booth hasn't contained a phone in a long time.. This is the other side of the window pictured yesterday in the mystery hospital.

Fianna Fail in Cork
Fianna Fail in Cork Fianna Fail, "The Republican Party", had an office on the Grand Parade in Cork for years. Last time I looked the building was derelict.
