    When Cork was the European Capital of Culture (2005 I think) Crime still happened, a city winning an award does not stop crime.

    it's like a regular ghetto except some of the men wear long black dresses and are worshiped by trannie chasers, and NOBODY talks about child sex abuse. Also the entire population are self confessed canibles (transubstansiation)

    I wonder if the shots were fired by honourable and reasonable men ?

    I suppose this might be a little problem with my proposal to have the now closed down Bogside Inn (which is just yards away from this incident) reopen as the North West's premier gay nightclub/disco bar.
