Snapped this last time I was in CUH. This shed was almost full and there were lots more bikes locked up and scattered around the grounds. The need for proper bike facilities at hospitals is massive.

Rivers of Munster: River Bride brings wildlife 'right up into Cork village'
Central to Blackpool's development in the 1700s and 1800s, the OPW now want to cover the River Bride over for flood relief, thus losing it as an amenity for the village, writes Michael Moynihan

Never in doubt! Two in a row for Rory is some achievement. #themasters
McIlroy making this look a lot easier than this time last year. No mistakes on the 18th and it's done #themasters
That hole in one from Lowry. Big day ahead for him tomorrow. Just 2 off the lead currently!
Not a great start here for McIlroy. A bogey on the first and others picking up birdies left right and centre. A 6 shot lead down to 3, and potentially 2 in a few mins. Early days.
Looks like a scaled-up prop from a crazy golf course
JUST IN, designs for Trump's monumental arch

It was a pleasure working with 4th year students from Douglas Comm to create this mural featuring past pupil Adam Idah ahead of a big week for the boys in the green. Also featured are some of the schools soccer jerseys through the years. My thanks to the lads for their hard work! #coybig
You have to wonder what's in the milk if this is what Avonmore think people at a parade look like... #aislop

The amount of events and festivals around the country using genAI for their promotional images is slightly maddening. All about supporting local, except their local artists.
There was one A.i.-ified listing I saw recently where the exterior of the house was shown from several different angles, and each angle showed different lawns, features, even trees and livestock enclosures.
The thing is the AI images don't "show potential" and are definitely misleading. They distort the size of rooms, move walls and windows, and place bathtubs and furniture in places where they physically won't fit.
The advertising regulator has said that AI-generated images in property ads are "not likely to mislead" if properly flagged, after criticism of some listings online. jrnl.ie/6960437
This clip has everything that makes sport so compelling but hardly features the sport itself! Poor Atle McGrath tho.

Roger Casement: “A nation is a very complex thing. It never does consist; it never has consisted solely of men of one blood or one single race – it is like a river, rising in the hills with many sources, many converging streams, that become one great stream.” (1905)

Ten years after the sod was turned, Cork still has no Event Centre. Just a derelict site and a bridge to nowhere in the heart of the city. Cork deserves delivery, not another decade of broken promises.
Jim Ratcliffe all of a sudden concerned about draining public resources... Not too concerned to not ask for public money himself for his own business while taking 4 billion out of UK coffers by living as a tax exile in Monaco.

Lower limits on Cork’s streets “will take many decades” if the public does not send a clear message to Cork City Council
Members of the public in Cork City are being asked to get behind the wider adoption of 30km/h speed limits in the city, campaigners have said. The move to set 30km/h speed limits in cities and towns was delayed when the Government abandoned a system that would have made 30km/h the base limit for urban areas. The new system of councils rolling out the lower limits has started.

Cork City Council Speed Limit Review consultation is open until 13th February. There's a telling paragraph explaining that speed limits "need to be credible, self-regulating, and should be regarded as appropriate by road users".
