Welcome to the pre-lunch edition! Cillian bags an Oscar, footpaths fail us, running tracks too, and City Council execs too. But at least it's a long weekend.
I wonder what Cork City Council want to do to honour Cillian? It's very hard to see him enjoying riding an open top double decker through a parade - it would be fabulous if they could consider an open arts' night in his honour. Throw open all the doors and stage free plays, movies, concerts, celebrate local authors, sponsor small artists to come out and do shows...
I have been saying for decades that Cork absolutely has the culture and support for something like White Night, the Midsummer festival is great but there's space for more and for something that would connect more widely with people who feel it's not for them. The arts are for everyone.
