Hi

Does anyone know an engineer or planner in cork city council?
Does anyone know what kind of qualifications they have? Perhaps none.

I remember reading about new junctions in ballyolane that are too tight, footpaths too wide for buses to pass on the road!!

See below an example from recent Lehenaghmore roadworks, a new junction a lot worse than the old previous junction - cars can’t use it properly, traffic a way worse!

trucks cannot used it all! A few got stuck last week!
Millions spent to make the whole situation worse!
What a fiasco!

Who is in charge of these plans!?
Do they have qualifications anyone know!

**Edit - it’s in Barrett’s cross Lehenaghmore

S. Douglas Rd- There is a white and black dog that is alone often without owner pooping all along the pavement. It’s everyday. Anyone know where this dog lives or who he belongs to? Clearly they need to be picking up after it 💩💩💩💩. It’s a very shitty situation to have to walk and try avoid stepping piles of poop. Saw the dog again doing its business and no owner around. Map for 💩covered footpath.

Any suggestions for places similar to JJ’s??

I appreciate that it’s a family run business but the prices are through the roof and I’ve been in there multiple times and witnessed managers, or owners (not sure) yell and abuse their staff. Which, I’m assuming, are minimum wage workers. Despite needing to take out a loan for a half decent lunch. Extremely humiliating for myself and the employee to have it happen.

Any other Family run business’ or shops that are similar in Cork that I can take my money instead ??

Yea yes, another one of these, apologies!

Lads, quick one please, when in the left lane here as shown coming from Kinsale Road what options do you legally have?

I always understood you could exit to left and into the city on the City Link Road or also take the left (only) exit eastwards in direction of Tunnel?

The level of aggression from my fellow road sharer this evening has me 2nd guessing myself

Thanks!

I used to live in newbridge and there was a fast food shop called central grill that had them, man they’re so good but I didn’t realise how hard they were to find all over Ireland, I’ve moved around quite a bit and the only place that’s had them was in Dublin, I feel like they should be way more popular

Lads with is with everyone and their mother trying to take the Lee road out of the city lately cause since Monday the whole city has been deadlocked at castlewhite outside the ucc western gateway building

Looking to get a taxi from Kent station at 7.20 am tomorrow? Are there any there at that time usually?

Any updates on the Debenhams building in Cork? Does anyone know if it’s still on track to reopen and when? I’ve checked here, but the last post was from a year ago, so I haven’t been able to find any recent updates.

Just wondering if anyone had recommendations for faux wedding flowers. We will have real flowers for the bouquet and celebration table, but would love to add in some faux flowers to reduce waste. Thank you!

Hi! Any recommendations for venues for Christmas night out work work team of about 20 people? Mainly for food/drinks/music? Has anyone been to Bodega/The Merchant/The Woodford or similar for one and could recommend? Thanks!

I have noticed a total lack of benches in covered areas in the city, no benches at main bus stops, no benches in shopping centers (like Corn Market).

In a country where it rains a lot it makes no sense.

I traveled to Germany, UK, Spain, Italy etc and they have them even if in some places it does not rain much!

Homelessness is not so bad to be an excuse for not putting any benches in covered places.

I’ve noticed when company’s representative of Irish water carry out works they leave a trail of destruction behind. For example, Pearse Road through Ballyphehane, resurfaced to a high finish in the last few years only for ward & burke to come and absolutely ruin the footpaths & roads.

Is there any course of action that can be taken to ensure these places are left in the same or better condition than they found it?

No doubt the exact same thing is about to happen around college road with the works that have been ongoing.

Not isolated to ward & burke or Irish water either. You see the same with the likes of contractors on behalf of esb etc. really infuriating!

Hi there! I'm a beginner jazz/blues guitarist looking for a bassist or drummer or any instrument for that matter to jam out with and loop simple standards in a more casual setting and get the practice hours in. Does anyone know where would be a good place to look?

Im a new hire, had induction Monday and Tuesday of this work, set up with a work email and on the hub, but can anyone tell me how they get their roster? I’ve been searching all over the hub and can’t seem to find anything. Is it normal to not hear anything a few days after induction?

We are sale agreed on a property in Ballinlough, a week or two away from drawing down. I knew we were unlikely to get subsidence cover but I assumed banks would accept this, because like how does anyone buy in these high risk areas otherwise?!
I was thinking at worst we could pay an extremely high price for a policy now that includes subsidence cover (we have managed to get one company that will include it but it costs €3000 per year), and that we could remove the subsidence cover next year. We are approved with Avant and I have been digging into their policies and it looks like subsidence cover is a necessity and we’ll be violating terms if we drop it in the future.
Up to 90 now. How does anyone get around this?!

Moved back to cork after years away. I never used the public libraries here before (lived here as a student and had access to the Boole). So, how are they? In terms of range of books, online access, noise? Are there specific branches you would recommend?

Hi Everyone,

My mother’s car has been robbed from Carrignavar area tonight at around 2am 16/10/26.

It is a 182-KY REG White Skoda Jeep.

Saw them last second speeding away with our car and could do nothing about it :(
Called the guards immediately but they said it’ll most likely be dumped somewhere by joyriders - maybe whites cross/ city direction.
It’s a Skoda Karoq with a sunroof, potential belongings thrown out would be clothing, makeup bag, documents, pictures of family etc.
If anyone sees this car around in any car park or any usual spots where they would dump cars, please give any info.
Also, if anyone sees any joyriders at all around driving erratically, please inform as I presume the majority are linked.
