Michael Moynihan: How would Cork score in liveability rankings?

The city wasn't included in a recent report ranking cities all around the world according to liveability, so I'm just going to have to rank Cork myself — an entirely unbiased and objective appraisal, of course. Watch this space

The quality of public healthcare provision in Dublin is rated at a stark ‘uncomfortable’ by the Economist Intelligence Unit; that’s a rating that anyone who has recently visited Cork University Hospital would struggle to deny. Picture: Dan Linehan

You may think of it as the least entertaining version of Eurovision ever invented, but any time there’s a poll ranking various cities, I just have to get excited. When the cities are ranked by liveability I might as well be watching Bucks Fizz winning it all back in 1981.

I have no hobbies. What can I tell you?
