Twelve months ago almost to the day Bishopstown retained their senior status with a one point victory over Ballinhassig after extra-time in a replay, so it is some achievement that on Sunday they will play in their very first county senior final.

Rebel without a cause?

Bryan Holland & friends in Poznan Euro 2012 So with a heavy heart on Tuesday, we all rolled up the tricolours, took down the little flags from our cars and removed the strange thingies from our wing mirrors (kudos to whoever invented those, they looked awful but were very clever). Even the most pessimistic observer would have struggled to correctly predict just how dismal the Irish performance would be at Euro 2012. Twenty four years is a long wait

    Regular readers may recall my New Year's resolution. Six months into 2012 I'm proud to say that I've managed, most of the time at least, to look for the positives in whatever life should conspire to throw at me.

  • Taking the time to write

    @corkindo
    I got a handwritten letter last week. I like getting handwritten letters. In these days of email and other such modern 'fol-dols', a handwritten letter still shows that somebody went to the trouble of sitting down with a pen, and carefully committing thoughts, emotions and views to a piece of paper.

    Nobody likes being sick. For the vast majority of the population, it rarely happens but  when it does, it can prove to be a costly affair. After weeks of traditional male 'I’m grand' self diagnosis, I eventually went to my excellent GP to complain about my distinct inability to breathe properly.

    In 2011, the ISPCC's Childline service received an average of 2,360 calls and messages every day. That amounted to almost 840,000 calls last year, each one from an Irish child reaching out for help. We are to assume that these are calls from children who feel they have run out of options, and people to turn to.

    vegetables Picture the scene. A child aged seven collapses in school. Teachers are concerned and a doctor is called. The child is found to be undernourished, perhaps even severely so. A Social Worker is notified and the situation of the family is examined.

    VitaworkersPeter_1.png The Queen Bee is just at the end of her second year in College. She has one exam to go, and there will be an anxious wait for results, but it looks as if she'll do reasonably well, and fair play to her, because she's worked bloody hard all year.

    On 31 January, 1984,  a 15 year old schoolgirl was found dead beside a grotto in the small town of Granard in County Longford. I was too young at the time to take notice of the story, but her tragic story was so enduring that it haunts many to this day.

He is 14, and is coming to the end of an additional year that he was able to spend at the ASD unit in St Columba's School in Douglas. The team down there, led by Carmel Reid and the Principal, Tom Wilkinson, have been beyond brilliant with our boy for the past number of years, and he has thrived in their care.

  • 'Austerity' masks much

    Newshound Posted on 19/04/2012 by Jonathan Healy
    @corkindo
    There's a concerted effort by many to stop the media from using the phrase 'austerity'. In cold economic terms, it means (and I borrow this definition from Wikipedia) "a policy of deficit-cutting, lower spending, and a reduction in the amount of benefits and public services provided".

  • Celebrating tragedy

    Before I even write a single word, I know this is a piece that could draw upon me the wrath of many, but I must commit it to paper, because it's on my mind. As I spent time in Cobh yesterday, covering for 96FM the visit of President Higgins to mark the official anniversary of 'Titanic's final departure, it remained on my mind, and I found it troubling.

    Every day, we get hundreds of messages into the programme from our loyal listeners, arriving in the form of texts, tweets and emails. In recent times, there has been a renewed caution amongst the media about such audience interaction (a bogus tweet being the modern broadcasting equivalent of a hanging offence), but messages from listeners still help drive the debate on the major issues of the day.

    BringBatteriesBackrecyclecampa_1.jpg No, I haven't registered. As I write, I don't think I will, either, but not because I couldn't afford the €100. Thankfully, I can, but to be quite honest, I'm simply not inclined to sign myself or my family up for the Household Charge in its present format.

  • Fail to plan

    @corkindo
    Most Cork people are familiar with that famous Roy Keane quote on his return from Saipan, where the former Ireland skipper said, "if you fail to plan, then you are planning to fail". Cork's finest footballing export may have been paraphrasing Winston Churchill, but the message proved equally true for soccer as for war or politics.

    My views on emigration have been getting me into hot water ever since the current crisis began, and since the numbers queuing up to board planes for Australia, New Zealand, Canada or wherever, began to mushroom.
