The biggest change in Cork occurred in 1920 when the British forces burned the City center to the ground :lol:

It also got electric street lights about 1999.

I don't know, your shithole looks less shitholic then mine. But until we are a nation, we'll be shit, because no-one cares about the country, just about themselves.

One of the reasons i'm moving to france next year 8)
