Restaurant review: Diva Boutique Café and Bakery, Ballinspittle, Co Cork
To those of us becoming increasingly less inclined to wipe the mud splatters from the year number on our registration plates, the little West Cork town of Ballinspittle will be forever associated with the summer of ’85, when statues of the Virgin Mary began to ‘move’ all over the country, creating quite a kerfuffle in Ireland and the world beyond.
Some wags suggested these energetic effigies were simply of a mind to join the mass exodus of emigration that then prevailed, keen to join queues at Shannon Airport heading for New York or to board the Slattery’s bus to London.
