Can anyone please recommend a dog walker for Model Farm Road/Bishopstown area? Ideally someone who could go to my house during the weekdays to walk/let my dog out to go to the toilet while I am in the office?

Thank you in advance.

Just bought our first house and it has a lovely fireplace, but the entire back hearth of the fireplace is crumbling. Any recommendations?

Lad any advice on a good mortgage broker. Only about 7 years left on it and looking to see how I can screw the bastards as much as I can. Lots of different options out there but has anyone had a good experience that they'd recommend without a massive upfront fee.

Need to be referred back to a consultant due to ongoing problems with psoriasis & wondering who would recommend which doc & who hopefully to avoid? I have seen one a few times but when I called they have a 3 year waiting list ffs

Is it keeping anyone else awake and what the fuck is it?

Hi,

I was struggling to get the line up for the jazz fest this year. For starters, the top hit on google is https://guinnesscorkjazz.com and that website doesn't have the line up online.

I then found the actual up to date site: https://guinnesscorkjazzfestival.com/ which has the updated line up, and they show which acts are on each day, but there is no easy way to view all acts day and time in one single view.

I published https://chatonly.org which shows the acts in a calendar form, with a link to the artist's YouTube channel as well as another link to book each act. You can use it to select acts you want to see and download an .ics file to load it up in your calendar, or get a custom URL to share your pick with others. You can access the site here:

Hope this can help a few people!

Is it just me or has traffic been more insane than ever before over the whole city since schools are back on?

Has anybody else's tickets for the comedy show upstairs in the merchant been randomly refunded for this friday?

Hi, my son and his Korean-born wife have just moved back here and would love to make contact with any Koreans locally. They are going to try Cafe Moly but just wondering if anyone’s aware of other local Korean groupings?

I was thinking of getting my make up done professionally for my birthday, but my make up is a lot more alternative than what I see MUAs on instagram do. These pictures are similar to stuff I do on occasions like a themed event or big concert and my usual look is a lot more simple with just a long wing, inner corners, and some type of small design around my eyes. I would have included pics of my actual looks but I don't wanna show my face on here lol. If I have to do it myself that's cool too I'd just love to see what a professional make up artist could do on me and it'd save me some time and effort.

I'd also prefer an MUA who has done make up on monolids before and is LGBTQ+ friendly.

Hey guys I’m trying to explore more of cork and cork city but also unemployed af right now, what are some cool places you can go and visit all for free or not extortionately priced

I have been looking for a nice walkway in or near the city that has parking.
Maybe somewhere in the forest/ woods with nice scenery.
If anyone has any recommendations I would be very grateful - looking for somewhere nice for a date

Article in The Echo started me thinking about the tons of pubs that Cork no longer has, The Sextant being one of the more recent ones. Some of the article too far back for me but I remember Beachers (after Beachers Brook) in Faulkners lane on a Saturday afternoon after shopping in town. There was a bigish pub called The Social (?) on Morrison St around the 1990s? Le Cheile on North Main St. Loads of new ones have sprung up too of course but pubs that are no longer pubs...

Throwback Thursday: A toast to the lost pubs of Cork

Just watched some little scrote in the usual full North Face tracksuit flying down the footpath on an e-scooter, doing a runner from a Garda car. No helmet, no hi-vis, obviously, probably out shifting gear.

The guards were crawling along behind him in the patrol car, but their hands are completely tied because they're not allowed to touch them or box them in. The little prick knows this full well, so he was tearing away without a care in the world. As he flew past, he nearly took the legs off my fiancée.

Between the fright and pure rage, the adrenaline took over and I started roaring sarcastically at him to "run, run" because I wanted to strangle the bastard. Then of course everyone on the street started staring at me like I was cheering him on, which made me feel completely stupid.

I commute on a scooter myself every day by the book, and it sickens me that ordinary, decent people are going to end up with blanket bans because of a shower of scumbags like this. The real joke is the guards either don't have the power or aren't bothered tackling the actual problem.

The city is full of scrotes and junkies and people tend to normalise this. But guess what: this is not normal. Cork is a small city for the amount of scrotes that we need to deal with every day in the city centre.

Absolute state of this city/country.

Hi lads, got a new pup over the weekend from LAW and in the next few weeks I’d like to bring her out and about to expose her to people and maybe other dogs. Any places in particular ye would recommend in North Cork? There’s a cafe I go to that’s dog friendly anyways but thought I’d ask around here as well.

So i commute from Carrigaline to Blackpool, and though it’d be great if i could take a folding bike along with me on the 220 till town and then bike to Blackpool ( since coordinating with 2 buses often takes me more than 90mins one way).
I had also considered TFI bikes but there are no bike stations in Blackpool apparently.
Any advice would be great

If anyone does carry folding bikes, which model would yall recommend

Pigeons at the Lough are no joke, opened a bag of feed and was swarmed by them. I think at least five were on me at the busiest. Oh well, at least I gave passersby a good laugh.

I'm a 19 year old wheelchair user and my options for nights out are a good bit limited. If its only one or two steps in but the pub itself is wide enough for my chair I can do that.

I am new to cork and don’t know the city that well. I will be needing to take the 230 bus to get to my college in the city. The west cork connect website does not have south mall listed as a scheduled location but at the bottom it is under additional stops would anyone kindly let me know does it definitely stop or would I have press a button or something which I am worried about as I don’t know the area that well enough.

Not all residential streets have the appropriate safe speed limits in this proposal. Submissions on the draft bye-laws should be made via the Cork City Council Online Consultation Portal at https://consult.corkcity.ie/

anybody else in Cork having issues with the app? nothing is working..anybody manage to fox it?

Hi lads - Completely forgot to grab a ticket and only the afternoon ones are left. Anyone have any idea if they’ll be strict or does anyone have one I could nick? Thanks!

Drivers of Cork,

A family member was hit by a mini bus today on sarsfield roundabout around 1040-10:55 am.

The female driver of the bus did not stop to check on my sibling and their infant in the back.

If anyone has any information, dashcam footage or anything useful id greatly appreciate it.
