There are more off licences in Cork city now than there werebin the ENTIRE COUNTRY in the early 80s. That is part of the reason why Ireland has such a problem with alcohol.
@sean o’dhubhghaill:
That and a believe by a lot of people in this country that you cannot have a good time without getting really drunk.
@sean o’dhubhghaill:
The off licences are a symptom of the problem, not the cause.
People don’t drink because there are 3 off-licences in their town. The off-licences are there because people are drinking.
@sean o’dhubhghaill: there more coffee shops too compared to the 80s dose that mean weve a problem with caffeine ? Alcohol is a problem in any country as are drugs , cigaretts and so on blaming the amount of places selling it is as if was only one sure they all flock to that
@Tweety McTweeter: and vice versa….
@sean o’dhubhghaill: No it isnt. The alcohol abuse is because people dont have discipline in their lives. They are constantly feeding their gluttony
@Tweety McTweeter: You’re right, it’s the same with prostitution.

Are all bills included? I’ll pay 800 a month but I can’t go any higher. I have the deposit here in cash ready to go, and a copy of my passport.
I’ve been searching on daft for 2 months, this is the best place I’ve seen. Bigger and more private than most.
have your say
