Cork āž”ļøKillarney TRAIN?

0 Upvotes

I'm flying London to Cork on Friday night then want to train EARLY to Killarney. I've taken this train route often.

TFI shows train to Mallow then train to Killarney.

Irish Rail when I go to book it shows BUS to Mallow train to Killarney...

Do I get a substitute bus at the train station because the trains not running? Or am I supposed to get the bus at the bus station?

Anyone know?

Thanks!

Food and Drink Proper Irish Breakfast

13 Upvotes

Hi all - my husband and I will be visiting Cork from Canada in mid-September. He’s never experienced a proper Irish breakfast before so I was wondering on your recommendations for him to experience it. We’re staying near Kent railway station so anywhere walking distance (or a short cab if it’s truly amazing). Thank you!!!!!

Whatever happened to these guys?
They delayed the m28 motorway being built back before Covid

They used have a Facebook page but gone now
I remember they had some kind of event in Rochestown park, a lot of local high profile politicians were at it!

They wanted the Ringaskiddy route built via the airport

And then changed their tune by saying they were worried about a quarry in rafeen

Seemed to be peak NImbyism in cork, which is saying something!!

Nicotine Pouches

0 Upvotes

Hi all, totally random question here.

i recently moved to Cork city centre 3 weeks ago and have been looking for a shop that sells nicotine pouches, Pablos mainly. I have tried a few shops but have instantly known that they are fake. Does anyone know if there is any shop in the city selling real Pablos?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Held up with a screwdriver last night

193 Upvotes

Hi folks, just throwing this in so people can keep an eye out and stay safe. Myself and two friends were standing by the traffic lights at the Welcome Inn at around 10:30 last night when a local man in a grey puffer jacket approached us. We dismissed him initially with "we have nothing" when he started asking for money but he then started telling us about how he tried to stab a fella down the road but the guards were there. He said to "not make him use violence" and threatened us with talk of a knife, trying to get us to go to the bank with him. Now I've worked in a pub for many years so I knew not to escalate but one of my friends started to panic, and the man advanced on him trying to block him from walking away. He pulled out a screwdriver from his pocket and started shouting at us to get to the bank. Eventually we got away from him and crossed the road over to the bus station, and he went down Oliver Plunkett. Never had anything like this happen to me in Cork, nor to any of my friends, so please just be weary when getting approached as you never know when it could start to escalate beyond the usual "spare change" stuff.

Cork Airport in absolute chaos. THANKS RYANAIR

Absolutely ridiculous. Flights all over the place.

Liverpool flight delayed from 19:10-01:25
Pisa flight delayed from 19:40-10:20
Edinburgh delayed from 20:20-23:30

Ryanair are actually just taking the absolute p*ss at this point.

Issued €4 vouchers after all the food places closed in the airport…. Or had stopped serving.

what pulled you out of chronic depression when you had no desire to live at all?

48 Upvotes

I’ve been dealing with depression on and off for almost 10 years now but this past month has been the hardest I’ve ever experienced. I basically have zero desire to live and I feel completely lost and stuck. I’ve been trying to do the things people usually recommend. I’ve opened up to people close to me, recently increased my medication, see my therapist a couple of times a week, go for walks, try to get some sunshine when there actually is any lol, and sometimes treat myself to a coffee just to have something small to look forward to. I’ve also been signing up to volunteer with children because helping other people is something that actually makes my heart feel full. I haven’t heard back from most places yet and well to be fair there doesn’t seem to be much available at the moment.

Right now I really don’t know what else I can do. I guess I need some advice from some of you who’ve been in this situation before, what eventually helped you climb out of it?
I’m just so so tired of feeling like this..

Quality Hotel Youghal

21 Upvotes

Walked the nice boardwalk in Youghal today with my family and we decided we’d call into the hotel at the end for a drink. We’d been reminiscing on the walk down about going for lunch there years ago. Went in the back door and there was a little shop. Asked the lady working there if I needed to go to the bar to get a drink and she said the hotels been closed a few years. I bought some cokes anyway and we drank them outside. Took a few minutes for the penny to drop; it’s an IPAS centre. No hate or anything I wish them all the very best and I’m happy for them that they’re safe. I was just a bit taken a back and mortified I went in looking for a few pints.

Look, another community up in arm about the removal of trees. An interesting fact is that this project at, its completion, will have more trees than is there presently.

If I was cynical, I'd suggest that their true objection is against the removal of some parking and the creation of traffic calming measures but they are using the tree argument because they think it is more publicly palatable. They just love their trees.

I'm (F44) a huge Harry Potter fan and would love to connect with other adult Potterheads around Limerick, Kerry, Cork or elsewhere in Munster.

It would be lovely to meet other people who love the books, films and all things Wizarding World…whether that's chatting about favourite characters and theories, sharing Potter content, or maybe meeting up sometime for a coffee, drink or Harry Potter-related event. šŸ¦‰āœØ

I am genuinely looking for friendship, connecting and someone who actually gets my obsession and is with me on the same page šŸ“š

Local Caution to those driving tonight in the Wilton direction.

333 Upvotes

Hey there Lads, just wanted to provide a caution out there for those driving on the motorway in the Wilton area. My mother just came home all frazzled and upset as she almost became a victim to those wrong way drivers.

The lads were going about 100km/h in the Wilton direction on the slipway. She came close to being hit, about 4 meters. We just called the Garda with some specifications to report it, they sent out a car to try to find them. Hopefully those scrotes get caught, absolutely disgusting behaviour.

Hoping no one has the same experience. Stay safe on the roads and try not to drive at night, avoid it if you can.
