St. Patrick’s Day 2022

The first St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Cork since 2019 and the rain held off for most of the day and a great parade was put on by the city.

The photos above don’t do it justice. I couldn’t include every group but hopefully it will be an indication of the effort put in by a huge number of people. Well done everyone who took part!

Pure #DerelictIreland

These four buildings on North Main Street, Cork, are an eyesore. Thankfully they have been the subject of a compulsory purchase order by the local council so hopefully they will be saved and developed.

When Santa rode through Cork

Santa rode through Cork City in 2003 as part of the annual Cork Toy Run that goes through the city. The last one was last year when they collected thousands of Euro for Children’s Leukaemia Association and Barnardos.

Silhouettes in the sky

Teenage boys watching the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Cork in 2003. They were sitting on street signs at the bottom of Patrick’s Hill as the parade walked past down McCurtain Street.
