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.

A rundown, but almost full bike shed at CUH.

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.

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

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".

From the consultation website... "To be effective speed limits need to be credible, self-regulating, and should be regarded as appropriate by road users. Otherwise, they will tend to not be adhered to, which in turn will lead to enforcement issues for An Garda Síochána."
