Bid to twin Cork with Sunderland gets red card

ATTEMPTS to twin Cork with Sunderland and capitalise on Roy Keane’s managerial success were given the red card last night.

Following a debate that went in to extra time, Cork’s city councillors voted 22 to five against the proposal.

The motion was kicked onto the field by former Fianna Fáil and now Independent northsider Cllr Dave McCarthy.
