Letter to the Editor: Cork snobbery rife - such pomposity

It is ridiculous in my view to assert, as both a Mr Moynihan and a Mr Cosgrove did in the opinion/letters page of recent issues of Irish Examiner that Cork City was rife with snobbery because two women in the Blackrock area were heard to engage in a conversation involving that sort of codswallop.

Spotting the faults of other people may not always be the laudable pursuit that it is sometimes made out to be and my take on snobbery and on the sort of commentary to which I refer is that this might well be a case of “if you spot it you’ve got it”.
