Graham Norton has told how he doesn’t want a statue of himself to be erected in his hometown of Bandon, Co Cork, on foot of proposals from the organisers of Cork Rebel Week, Cork’s Gathering event.
Mr Norton told What’s On TV:
“They haven’t made one yet thank god. Thank you for reminding me – I must write to them and beg them not to. It’s such a waste of money and it would look hideous!”
But, from organiser Paidraic O’Kane:
“The organisers of Cork Rebel Week and the Bandon Host Town Committee are currently involved in very positive talks with Graham Norton with regard to his involvement in our forthcoming week-long celebration.”
“Mr Norton has communicated to our Bandon committee that he feels, during these recessionary times, a statue would not be an appropriate proposition, which we were happy to take on board.”
“However, he has expressed his support of an alternative proposal, the details of which will be released very soon by Cork Rebel Week.”
“We are very much looking forward to a visit from the man himself in October, which we feel will generate a great deal of positive attention for Cork.”
“Mr Norton has graciously expressed his intention to visit his hometown of Bandon during the festival, (dates permitting) for this alternative proposal to honour him and his fantastic contribution to Cork.”
“We are obviously very excited to have received such a response from Mr Norton and we are looking forward to sharing our new plan with the public in the coming weeks.”

Always has to be different.
Four, apparently.
A driver, two to hold the ‘stop’ and ‘go’ signs, and a fourth to fill the pothole.
Eoin English, in today’s Irish Examiner, reports that three council workers in Cork have been suspended for shovelling tar from a digger into a pothole without warning signs, lights or ‘stop’ and ‘go’ signs.
(Pic: Cork Potholes)
Will Cork County Council compensate for damage caused by potholes?
In their holes they will.
Well it depends….
Roisin Burke writing in the Cork Independent details one motorists claim for reimbursement for damage caused to his car by a pothole.
Kevin Walsh’s car suffered two punctures as well as damage to the rack end tie rods and car tracking, costing him €266.13.
In reply to his claim, the council informed him they would not be reimbursing him because the pothole had been caused by “natural wear and tear”.
The general rule is the Cork County Council do not compensate for ‘natural’ potholes; only in situations where the council has repaired the pothole and it has reappeared
For example, the pothole that damaged Kevin’s car has since been filled in so if it falls into disrepair again. the next person will be compensated.
Hope the councillors realise that there’s no votes in not fixing the roads.
Any excuse.

Which they hope will help pay for a new ceiling.
Kidding.

A fresh box of the buke arrived this afternoon. Jackie and Stephanie said they’re going to have them on display close to the till to catch
