Ask Audrey: 'Is the afterlife just something we invented so poor people don’t feel bad about living in Turners Cross?'

Sorting out Cork people for ages.

Hi. I started crying when I heard that Liam Gallagher and Lauryn Hill are going to play in Musgrave Park this summer. I’d love to go and see both of them but when my grandmother was on her death bed (private view in the Bons, view of Sunday’s Well), she offered me her summer house if I swore that I’d never visit Ballyphehane. (I’d actually sleep with a postman to get my hands on a place in Schull.) She said she’ll haunt me if I don’t stick to my promise. So, like, is there actually an afterlife or is it just something we tell poor people so they don’t feel bad about living in Turners Cross?
