We were down at the Marina Market in Cork. Have you been? It’s an extraordinary thing in an Irish context, It’s Fierce Berliny Altogether. Or Copenhageny. Just Generally Continental. It’s a bustling market in a warehouse on Centre Park Road. The food isn’t a rip-off. There are plenty of seats. And not all the seats are beneath bird roosts.
