Ask Audrey has been sorting out Cork people for years

Got an issue? Ask Audrey...

My Polish (or is it Russian?) cleaner is after asking me to the christening of her child. I don’t even know her name! Worse again, she lives in Tower. Imagine if someone saw me! Anyway, I’ve had a long think about it and the only solution is to fire her. In fairness, she’s a great worker. Can you think of any better solution? — Regina, Blackrock Road, my moisturiser is worth more than your car.

You should definitely fire her. And then give her my number. You wouldn’t believe the competition for decent cleaners among Cork ladies who are too posh to push (a vacuum cleaner). I had a great cleaner from Latvia (or was it the Czech Republic) until my own sister nicked her for an extra fiver an hour. So I’m willing to do anything to get a decent replacement. I might even go to Tower.
