Ask Audrey has been sorting out Cork people for years

Top of the begorrah to ya. I’m flying over to Ireland soon with my folks, to celebrate the centenary of 1916, when we belted the Brits out of old Ireland. We’ll be visiting the old family farm outside Listowel and hopefully catching some displays of Irish culture. What would you recommend? — Mike ‘Rinty’ MacMoriarty III Jnr, Chicago.

I recommend you go somewhere other than Listowel for the bit of culture. I went there for a ‘Night of Music’ last year and it involved a man playing the spoons and singing about his bad back. I’d also recommend you tone down the Brits out stuff. We’re incredibly welcoming to our British friends these days, particularly when they pay over the odds for a holiday home in the back of beyonds. (Or Macroom, as we call it here in Cork.) I presume you’ll also want to see those strange looking evil schemers known as The Little People. In which case, I recommend a trip to Ennis. (Everywhere!)
