My restored and colourised photo featuring a Nazi flag flying high on West Beach in Cobh, County Cork during the Treaty Port handover of Spike Island on the 11th of July 1938 following the establishment of the Irish Free State.

Norddeutscher Lloyd Bremen (North German Lloyd) ran a route from Bremen to New York via Queenstown (Cobh) in the 1930s.…The flag on the right is for the Limerick Steamship Company “LSSCo”.

This morning.

Via The Cork Echo:

Dr Mary Favier, who is President of the Irish College of General Practitioners (ICGP), said that while changes to testing criteria meant that GPs could refer a wider number of suspected cases for testing, in addition to contacts of confirmed cases, that she was referring just a handful of people for testing weekly.

“You can really tell it has died back,” she said

Dr Favier also pointed out that sentinel practices which monitor influenza like illness (ILI) rates in Ireland were also seeing “pretty low” levels.

In Ballycotton, east Cork, no nonsense ‘Garda Mick’ directs traffic away from the carpark for the popular cliff walk.

Hard but fair or frankly ridiculous?

This morning.

Via Echo Live:

Organisers of this year’s Youghal St Patrick’s Day parade have cancelled the event over concerns about the current coronavirus outbreak.

It comes as the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Ireland rises to 13, including one case in a person who does not have a history of travel to the affected areas. This patient, a male from the south of the country, is being treated at Cork University Hospital.
