SoundEye poetry festival is a five day festival of innovative and experimental poetry, sound and performance that happens every year in July in Cork city.
A care worker was asked by @BBCNewsbeat earlier whether she will be buying one of the new CARE badges, she said “No, they are being sold for £8.99 and my wage is only £8.75 an hour”
Says it all..
My boyfriend is a paramedic. He’s just been told to self-isolate for 14 days due to housemate having symptoms. This is a house of FOUR paramedics who are now all out of action for 14 days. We NEED testing for NHS staff Now! #covid19UK
I'm not a "Come out ye Black & Tans" fan, except when Alan Partridge sings it.
But I'm grimly aware today that many who are upset by that song expressed no anger whatever about homeless children eating off pavements.

17 Flood warnings in last 2 yrs (all tidal). No properties flooded but no active temporary protection measures implemented by City Council on any occasion - same Council expected to maintain hundreds of pumps, thousands of non-return valves and kilometers of demountable defences
Gareth Shiels, Master Stone Mason, Blackpool: The OPW Drainage Dept. should be let nowhere near the #HistoricQuays of Cork. They don’t know what they are doing, you just have to look at how they handled the heritage in Clonakilty, Skibereen and Bandon to see that."
