Re: Re: reordering and destruction of irish cathedrals and churches

Cobh certainly is an attractive place but it seems to have an image problem when you talk to Cork people. They will tell you it’s rough, has lots of unmarried mothers etc. I think it suffers from it’s past as a Navy/Dockers/British Garrison town. It doesn’t attract the middle classes like Kinsale for example.

I don’t mean to slag off Cobh, I’ve always enjoyed it and there is some great architecture in the town (spoiled somewhat by the PVC windows plague) but it does have image problems.
