Colm O'Regan discovered a lot he didn't know during a staycation in Cork

Ogham is a ancient writing that uses a system of ticks on a vertical line. Either that or it was an ancient advertisement for clothes pegs, writes Colm O’Regan

“I never knew this was here.” Have you found yourself saying that? There’s a good chance you’ve said it while on staycation. During the recession, it became fashionable and/or necessary, to holiday in Ireland and so thousands of people who would otherwise have gone off to South East Asia to find themselves, found themselves making the best of it on the Old Sod.

“I never knew this was here” is the refrain of people who watch too much Netflix and not enough Nationwide and John Creedon shows to find out.
