It’s raining. And the weather is grim. There are some floods in the city centre. And the news is very disheartening - but despite that all, Cork City is still shining this evening. We will prevail! #CorkCity @PhotosCork

Saw this absolutely amazing "hair ice" this morning in Longford, it only forms under very specific conditions where water is drawn out of the wood and freezes in thin layers, stabilised by the fungus Exidiopsis effusa. A natural phenomenon! @JoannaDonnellyL @CarlowWeather

A guy & a girl stopped when I was taking photos tonight at Bell's Field, & the guy said to me - "Imagine bringing a Dublin person up here on an evening like this? They'd never leave Cork!" And I have to agree with the sentiment - even if he was after a few beverages😄 #CorkCity

I honestly think this is the final nail in the coffin for Douglas. There can be no turning back - Douglas is no longer a village in which to spend time & to live, it is a car-dependent retail park where people come to shop & then leave - by car.

It's easy for @corkcitycouncil to hide behind planning & Seveso rules on this one, but reality is, they should work with @PortofCork to figure out HOW to make this work, rather than kill the best thing to happen for people living in Cork City for decades.

Imagine if you could walk from Broadale to Mount Oval directly? Would avoid the 34 min walk currently required! We need to factor more filtered permeability into our urban areas - access to shops, education, public transport by foot or bike. Proposal sent to local councillors.

@carrigman @what_if_cork @Corkcoco @corkcitycouncil The safety precaution in that case would have been not to drive in a storm. We can’t just remove nature from the world in this manner anymore - you can’t replace a 120 year old tree with a sapling & claim it’s equal, no one has the time to wait 120 years for it to grow again.
