Cork and Tipp are interested in one thing and while both would like to win on Sunday, I've a feeling they'd both prefer the bigger prize.

It is impressive when you see it in the flesh, isn't it?

That's a cracking snap Joe.

Hanging off the bridge or rowing up the river?

Used be a toilet there if memory serves me right.

Annoys me every time I pass it, the site of Connie Donovan's, one of the great Northside pubs, destroyed by greed.

Hurling heating up nicely already, after the weekend Tipp looking decent, Kilkenny still doing it, Clare competitive without some of their big hitters, Cork comfortable and we haven't seen Limerick yet. It's going to be a cracking year.

We being the key word.

Might be making a run for it.

Worth every cent 🤣

An iarracht ag na buachaillí inniu san Harty, bualadh bos mór dóibh. Fiece proud of the lads today, ye restored pride in the jersey and gave us a team to follow again. An Mon abú, beidh laethanta níos fearr agaibh. 💪

Will be interesting to see the the independent block of TDs programme for government when it's published.

Michael Lynn - The Fugitive on RTE's a great watch, jaysus he's one bad egg.

Great win for the Mon in the Harty. 0-18 to 0-10 didn't flatter them at all and now into the semi's. An Mon abú.

Two cracking games of hurling today, Russell Rovers fought to the end, and Watergrasshill, well some finish and we'll deserved.

Harper's Island wildlife habitat is great for a stroll, brilliantly laid out and signposted. Na comharthaí as gaeilge comh maith.

Fraud by the CSO? Is their only remit here to compile the figures as recorded by the Gardaí?

There's a gap in the market for someone.

So Verona's price for support of the new government is a €141k pay increase, with her new allowance being more than her salary. But yeah , 'tis all about serving her constituents.

Not sure which bin this belongs in, but it'll get ya started.

Ward of words over proposal for GP surgery and pharmacy on Cork's northside The proposal makes provision for the facility at the former Holyhill Inn, despite there being no change-of-use planning permission for the site.

@echolive.bsky.social Subeditor, the Northside of the city stretches from Mayfield to Holyhill, why do your headlines persist with "Cork's Northside"? You can almost see Holyhill from your office in Blackpool.

They do have a point, the North Bank would have been a much edgier name if the traders thought they needed one.

Great to see.

Was sent his during the week. 1985 junior league final I reckon, some bloody decent hurlers in there and a few right characters, plus a future All Ireland winner and All Star in the very front row.

Mockeyah v real.

Pork cheeks in Seville were surprisingly delicious.
