Michael Moynihan: As Cork city develops we must not lose sight of the views

With Cork building upwards and with a focus on the riverside, should we be cognisant of views that may be obscured from the city as we look down the river?

From Parliament Bridge in Cork city there is a good line of view of St Fin Barre’s Cathedral, which is a skyscraper of a different order. Picture: Denis Minihane

A rare occurrence last weekend: off work. Had almost forgotten that Cork exists on a Sunday as well as the rest of the week.

I made the most of my free time by taking a stroll around town, ducking in and out of the showers as I went. I eventually turned towards the Marina for reasons completely unconnected with the Cortado Coffee stop (though why more coffee trucks don’t sell bars of chocolate, well, maybe someone should write a column about that).
