Considering the majority of Cork voted Fianna Fail in the last election, I wouldn't rule it out.

It's a Fine Geal Councillor suggested it??

to whom it concerns,

this document entitles the bearer to notions of delusion about himself and cork. please allow these delusions to go unchecked and without hindrance.

The office of the minister for langers .

Having a "Passport" would make sense in that case!!!!

They should bring in their own currency as well. Then when the Euro collapses the langers will have the last laugh.

What made me laugh was the earnest Councillor's claim that Cork is known 'world wide'

I mean, Ireland isn't known worldwide, let alone Cork!

It's amazing how much societal division there is in such a small country: you'd swear we're living on the CONTINENT OF IRELAND the way people hype up differences from one locale to another. Blows my mind!

The sooner Lisbon quakes and sends a tsunami to the shores of Cork the better. Those langers won't be as full of themselves swimming around in a tsunami of their own sh1te.

They're already full of sh1t.

A tsunami of sh1t wont change that

Oh dear - irony bypass methnks....

Look - it's a MARKETING TOOL!! Personally, I think it's a great idea. Where I come from, we have the 'Brixton pound'and the 'Croydon pound'. It's great marketing, encourages people to spend money locally, and puts the place on the map.

I think it's not a bad idea actually. It has the potential to raise some cash and bring tourists in.

The amount of people worldwide who claim Irish heritage through their great great grand aunt would be happy to have this little cert. Then once they have it they may be inclined to actually go visit the place. It's not going to make billions of course but every bit helps.

its not a marketing tool...its comedy gold...and the gold rush has started.

If you ask me it sounds more like the council just finding more ways to take money off people for something irrelevant and pointless. But again each to their own.

I really don't see how a piece of paper saying "I'm from Cork" will up the tourism levels......

i remember living in cork 10 years ago, they are lovely people and they are fiercely proud of their own city,heritage in that they really believe in the 'people's republic of cork' mantra. think the passport is a bit crazy really

Oh god, the people's republic stuff as a joke I can tolerate (although it's a bit old by now) but actually taking it seriously? This Corkonian is scarlet...

Why would Cork people need a certificate, t shirt or bumper sticker to let you know they are from Cork. They will let you know within the first 10 seconds of meeting them anayway.

Nah I dont really, I'm just having a bit of a laugh, its all a bit of banter. I dont mean to offend anyone so hopefully I'm not and if anyone has taken offence I apologize. , as I said its just a laugh. I do however have a real thing about that passport thingy though, just think its ridiculous.
