Beskrivelse

A murder trial in Cork hit a bizarre pause when accused Daniel Hourigan refused to eat his lunch—claiming chicken goujons and chips were “unpalatable and insufficient,” delaying proceedings by 50 minutes. The judge sympathized but reminded everyone nourishment matters, not gourmet meals. The next day, he settled for chicken curry and the trial resumed. Meanwhile, his co-defendant Linda O’Flynn, initially his companion then partner, was compared to a horror movie villain by the defense. The jury didn’t know they’d stood trial together before, both charged with murder and blaming each other—so tense it ended with O’Flynn hurling a Coke bottle at Hourigan (missing him, hitting a lawyer). She later pleaded guilty to covering up the crime and got seven and a half years. Despite the chaos, the jury found Hourigan guilty, with damning evidence sealing his fate.

Luas and MacCurtain Street Debate | Ireland News

Cork’s MacCurtain Street, newly revitalized with outdoor dining and big investments, is facing a potential fate as a transit corridor thanks to the planned Luas light rail. While the project enjoys broad public support, business owners are sounding the alarm—concerned that trams could disrupt the street’s vibe, choke narrow lanes, and turn a lively destination into just another traffic route. Some even argue the quays might be a better route, avoiding the damage to local businesses. With the Luas Cork project aiming for completion by 2036, the National Transport Authority is still reviewing public feedback and promises to release a full consultation report soon—because getting this right means balancing progress with preserving what makes the area special.
