Ask Audrey: 'What’s the story with Cork becoming the outdoor dining capital of Ireland?'

Sorting out Cork people for ages

Ask Audrey has been sorting Cork people out for ages.

Hello, it’s Rosealeen here from Ballydesmond. My friend Berna is a nurse and isn’t the old witch waltzing around the town waving her vaccine passport singing ‘Oh, this year I’m off to Sunny Spain’, while the rest of us will probably be driven foolish from watching The Real HouseWives of Orange County on a loop in some damp hotel in the County Clare. 

I rang the HSE to report her but the lad on the phone said he didn’t have time to talk to me because he was looking up sexy swim-shorts for his fortnight in Lanzarote. I said to myself, Rosealeen, you’re as thick as two Kerry women, waiting in line for a vaccine like some kind of sheepdog when half the country is making eyes at the airport.
