Give us a 'Cork Day' says Deputy Lord Mayor

Temaz

As a Corkman I approve!

Cork may be getting its own day of celebration, if a local politician has his way.

The Deputy Lord Mayor of the city Emmet O’Halloran is calling for a world-wide holiday to celebrate all things about the region.

He says it would be akin to other holidays around the world such as Catalunya Day or the Annual Holiday of Quebec.

Councillor O’Halloran believes people of the area should have a special day that allows them to celebrate their unique culture and heritage.

Wacker The Attacker

Can the rest of us have a "go f*ck yourself cork" day

Isn't there already some dodgy bonfire day in June when half of Cork burns?

cournioni

Langer Day.

I'm from Cork and thats is a dumbest idea i have ever heard aimed a stupid people. Mayor O'Halloran should concentrate on improving the city's commerce and tourism rather than these pointless idiotic press releases.

People from the countryside have the 8th of December, so why shouldn't people from Cork get their own day?

A corkonian circle jerk isnt everyones idea of fun

Ah now, not before we have a Neil Prendeville Appreciation Day.

I read this as "Give us a cork dry". Im partial to a GnT myself

ilovesleep

Special passports last year and now this.

Many of us are proud of our localaties but not to this degree of deserving of special things. Cocky

Roger Sterling

Will we all have to talk through our noses with a stupid accent on Cork day?
Corkedy Corkedy Corkedy Corkedy is all I hear whejn they speak...

Those county councillors need to go on a fact finding mission to Rio de Janeiro or Las Vegas, a delegation of 25 or 30.

:rolleyes:

Cork is the county.

Munster is the region.

TeddyTedson

It's time the people of Cork gave this little joke up. Its run its course. Cork is not the real Capitol. Cork is not a Republic entity all on its own. There is nothing special about Cork, there never was and more than likely never will be.



















ONLY JOKING I REALLY LIKE CORK! I :-P

Only reason we tolerate the Corkonians is we need your oil and gas

Have to agree..

All the mayor is doing is make everyone dislike cork that little bit more. Isn't it time the whole "peoples republic" shite is dropped?

Sales of nurofen and trousers with elastic waistbands would shoot up on that day.

Tbf, there'd be country-wide support for that one

It's **** like this that makes me assume people from Cork are arrogant gob****es until they prove otherwise...

I've known lots of people from Cork that I've liked but such unrivalled, unjustifiable arrogance is just odious.

All this story shows is that Cork politicians spout as much nonsense as the those in the rest of the country. I can only hope your man had his his tounge in his cheek when he came out with this stuff

This clown is probably earning more than Obama. Some Cork people embarrass the rest of us.

forget the wall, just get out the drills and detach you from the mainland.

maybe take the Healy-Raes from Kerry with you

Never heard of those days and I'd be surprised if they where celebrated any other than those cities or by ex pats of those cities.

It sounds like a ridiculous expense.

Obnoxious pr1cks that deserve a tsunami sent to their shores to be quite honest. Lisbon in Portugal quaked a long time ago and sent a tsunami to the shores of cork. Lets hope it happens again very soon.

Feb 2011 cork voted in 4 FF politicians in the general election.

As soon as we get 'Louth Day', you get 'Cork Day'.

Louth day is usually every two weeks on a Thursday around here. They really collect on Friday but they make you put the bins out the night before.

How about Home Rule for Cork with a view to eventually making it a sovereign state?

Mr Benevolent

Feck off. Bad enough hearing the Cork accent in Dublin, sandpapering my eardrums.

Pure_Cork

I'm from Cork and I disagree with the Deputy Lord Mayor. One day to celebrate Cork isn't enough, sure we already have Cork Week: http://www.corkweek.ie/. We need to have Cork Month. We could rename one of the months of the year "Cork", like today could be the 1st of Cork, 2012.

Madam_X

Ew... embarrassing. And the PROC stuff is a joke, but some people are silly enough to take it seriously. Although...

As bad an attitude, if not worse. Assuming something that extreme about someone just because of where they're from? Did it ever occur to you that most Cork people wouldn't pay heed to that stuff and it's just a vocal minority? Nah, that involves too much thought I guess. Easy option: just condemn 'em all!

Yeah, all of those thousands of people you don't know. I believe such comments are known as "retarded".

I believe you have a river down in Cork. Useful, I'm sure, for jumping into and getting lost.

If we declared our independence in the morning do you honestly think we wouldn't claim the oil and gas off our coast? What would ye do to stop us, sure most of the Navy is in Cork and would support the new state. Those reserves, our established industry and quality education system would ensure a prosperous future for us while the 31 counties left would go down the swanny. Ireland is like a bottle, it'd sink without a Cork.

Independence? Is there going to be a Cork version of ETA?

I assume (and hope) that this is a wind-up. :rolleyes:
