Pranksters rubbish culture city’s image

CORK’S image as Europe’s cultural capital took another bashing yesterday as the city’s waste row entered its second week.

A mystery joker put a placard on a pile of illegally dumped rubbish on Eason's Hill, near the city's North Cathedral, describing the filthy refuse sacks as "art in situ."

The placard bore the name of Cork 2005, the official organisers of the city's year as European capital of culture.
