I'm not sure if Bonfire night is a Cork tradition or if there were bonfires all over the country last night?
Every year on June 23rd it is the same thing - over 150 callouts to the fire brigade, a fire brigade had a window smashed and objects were thrown at Firemen.
A lovely green area close to my workplace is sporting a big black patch today. It is surrounded by a half burnt three seater couch and a few burnt chairs. Lots of broken bottles and rubbish strewn around. I imagine the cost of the clean up all over the city will be huge.
I heard a Councillor on the radio earlier (didn't catch his name) who said he was disgusted by the behaviour of some people in the Churchfield area. He saw fridges, ovens, furniture and rubbish being thrown onto the bonfire there.
What sort of person throws a fridge onto a bonfire?? And then abuses the Guards and Firemen when they come to deal with the mess??
I despair of our society, I really do.
