They probably balked at the prospect of having to listen to them whinge and bleat as only Cork people can.I'm telling you boy, don't mess with the Cork crowd.

Their vaccine rate is much lower.
Yep, so maybe the "panic" from RTE and all the media down south had a positive impact. !

I admire the ability of Cork people to moan. They even developed a special accent to do it.ah, a true "not cork" person having a whinge and a bleat
It turns out is wasn't the moaning Corkonians but diplomacy that caused the Russians to relocate their manoeuvres.
Can you give us the gist of it - it's behind IT paywall for me...
Did the Russians do it to get concessions from us at the UN over Ukraine? In which case it was their plan all along...
It was official whinging, behind the scenes. I suspect there were still Cork people involved.
We were less cowardly than usual and were a bit outspoken in the UN. That sort of thing. It served our interests.
I'm sure we'll be back to our usual snivelling craven cynicism now that Russia aren't misbehaving in our back yard.
Hang on now, was that diplomacy not directed by the Cork Taoiseach and the Cork Minster for Foreign Affairs?
Or is this just some attempted one upmanship by a Jackeen paper?
Personally, I think the fishermen started it, then Putin was watching the Fitzgibbon cup during the week and saw the UCC jerseys and then someone sent him that video of the Rock O'Sullivan demolishing Limerick men and Roy Keane breaking legs and he, to borrow a quote from our Scottish cousins, went home to think again.
An excellent and insightful assessment.
