UPDATE OCTOBER 2023

I could not book a hotel at reasonable cost so my August 2023 visit was cancelled. And at this stage I suspect that I will not visit Cork City during 2024

I visited Cork in 2022 and had planned to visit in May 2023 with a possible follow up visit in August 2023. I did visit Cork in May 2023 and the weather was not good. However, it would appear that I will not visit in 2024 as the hotel prices have doubled - I asked to move my August 2023 booking [Euro 345) to May 2024 and was quoted Euro 900. At the time of writing this update (2 August 2023) I am considering the possibility of cancelling the August 2023 booking as I can get a refund and visit Limerick instead.
Because of issues with my hosting services all my sites will be self-hosted going forward and for security reasons they will "headless". The huge advantage for visitors is that they will be much faster as well as being mobile friendly. If all goes well I will visit again in August.

This was my longest visit to Cork and in many ways it was my most productive but much to my surprise I discovered that it was not long enough and I did not get the opportunity to visit Cobh, Middleton, Fota Park other interesting parts of the city and county.

Up until now I have avoided using flash but as I had been advised that the sky would be overcast for the duration of my visit I decided to bring my flash unit and it was needed especially during my visit to Passage West.
