May he rest in peace. A poet who lived, loved and ‘got’ Cork .. warts and all. Not one of his best, but a slice of times past…

Cork’s Marina Walk has really come into its own.

#RiverLee #DaylightSaving #Spring
The Sophie making her way down river on a bright Spring evening with ‘the long stretch’ finally back after a grim winter. Cork’s Marina Walk built on reclaimed flood banks - once known as Navigation Walk, completed in 1791 to guide ships in and out to the city’s quays - due to be officially re-opened after a major upgrading programme. Its popularity has gone through the roof but despite the joggers, cyclists and walkers of all ages, it remains a spectacular place to enjoy vistas of the southern capital.

Mount Melleray in County Waterford closes today after more than 190 years.

The Trappist monks - some 7 remaining - will transfer to a newly amalgamated community in Roscrea.

Hundreds are expected to attend today’s final
Mass. #Cistercians #StDeclansWay
Mount Melleray in west Waterford - home to an order of Cistercian monks who fled France in 1832. Over the decades it’s become a place of contemplation & retreat on a beautiful site on the Knockmealdown mountains along the St. Declan’s pilgrimage route. Inside the public church at Mount Melleray. There is also a larger, plainer community church. Many people have been flocking to have their confession heard before the monastery closes this weekend. Veronica, the 5th Station of the Cross.
