These days, there's one major criterion to judge whether an event is well-run or not: what's the situation with the toilets? It's the first item on the agenda for the organisers' pep-talk outside the Butter Exchange before we set off on a stroll through the city in the company of Lisa McInerney. Practicalities sorted, off we go down Shandon Street and along the North Mall to St Vincent's steel bridge, around by the Marsh, onto the Coal Quay, before crossing the river to the north side again.
