    North Mall?
    The north-facing wall of the Opera House. They put a big stage door and a couple of windows into it when they refurbished but it still looks fierce bleak. How much would it cost to stick a massive mural up there? One a year even, make it a Cork thing.

    I was inside the bus station today and I have to say it's dire. It's totally unfinished. Same doors, and same seats. Battered and padlocked lockers in the middle of the floor. Very odd. Very empty looking and the space is just very cold. Like some waiting room in the hospital.

    They need some kind of showpiece in it. Outside you can't spot the rebricks on the ground now because of all the filth from the construction. They're all grey and white looking.

    They need some natural things in there like plants and some nice local wood or something like that. Imaginative lighting would also be good.

    The toilets were terrible alright. Blood, ****, vomit were all regulars at the toilets floor of Cork Bus station. I complained plenty of times but nothing ever happened. Hopefully Toilet Roll will be stocked regularly too. I remember one time.......


    The bums of Cork should be banned from the toilets and proper public toilets be made available. I hate having to rush through McDonalds with my head low and going to the bog.
