15.07.2005: online chat rooms being bombarded by dim-wits (or sponsored hooligans?) the evening echo has had to close its chat rooms, archiseek.com accused of being governed by vested interests that denigrate the status of the elderly.
08.07.2005: cork city mourns london bombing. the uk government have been urged to carefully avoid backlash reactions that may only strengthen terrorists position.
05.07.2005: cornmarket street traders are looking for a bit of action..... come on city council, lets sort out the roadworks at daunt square!
30.06.2005: ARTISTS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO SELL ON THE STREETS! the law in relation to street trading has been mis-applied according to many artists/ artisans in cork who wish to trade on the street. artists should be able to apply for a reasonably priced license for one or two days. this would greatly enhance the experience of visiting cork, and give people a chance to make a living from their own produce instead of being forced to draw the dole. cork city council introduced a scheme for artists to sell art in bishop lucey park last year, but (i) did not support/ market the initiative, and (ii) insisted that artists take out their own public liability insurance instead of applying their own public indemnity. comments to paul@newcorkcity.com
