Gaelic
by Tripack
Síolraíonn na teangacha Gaelacha ón Sean-Ghaeilge a labhraítí in Éirinn, agus ba teanga scríofa í ón 8ú Aois agus roimhe. Rinne Gaeil as Éirinn ruaigeanna, agus ina dhiaidh sin churadar fúthu in iardheisceart na hAlban. Thugadar an Ghaeilge leo, agus de réir a chéile ba í an Ghaeilge an gnáththeanga sa chuid is mó d'Albain go dtí an 17ú chéad.
The Goidelic languages, (also sometimes called, particularly in colloquial situations, the Gaelic languages or collectively Gaelic), historically formed a dialect continuum stretching from the south of Ireland, through the Isle of Man, to the north of Scotland. There are three modern Goidelic languages: Irish (Gaeilge), Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig), and Manx (Gaelg). However, older versions of literary Scottish Gaelic and Irish were similar enough to have been considered dialects of a single language.
Left Luggage - head for the Bus Station.
by aaaarrgh
If you are looking for somewhere to leave your bags while you sightsee, head for the Bus Station. They have a Left Luggage Office opened 7 days a week (but shorter opening hours on the weekend).
I think it was about €3.60 per bag for a day.
The Bus Station is to the northeast of Cork city centre, next to the main river.
There are signs pointing towards a Left Luggage Office at the train station. However, the office there closed down, so don't bother hunting around for one there!!
West Cork
by orlikins
West Cork is one of the most scenic parts of Ireland. The main Towns in this area would be Bandon, Kinsale, Skibbereen, Glengariff and Castletownbere. I dont know it really well personally - apart from Kinsale, but hey, I can always visit some other time!
Toys and Gifts
by Ekaterinburg about Pinocchio's
Everything about this shop is delightful, from its outside decor and window displays, to its eclectic selection of toys and gifts inside. This is the place to buy something special, be it toys for children or bigger children( AKA adults). Most of the toys are wooden and handmade..
Cork has a huge bus station...
by DAISYCHAIN
Cork has a huge bus station where there are coaches coming into and out of the city every 30 minutes or so.It is probably the best way of getting into the city without the hustle of trying to find a parking space. Black cabs are quite reasonable and can be found close to the bus station.
Definately by walking, you can admire the tall buildings, spot out the bars and restaurants you fancy trying out and have fun getting lost in the back alleys!!!
