Air raid siren

[Meridian]

The Oil Refinery in Whitegate has one and also the County Fire Stations have them also, so that would be Cobh, Carrigaline, Crosshaven all around the harbour area.

Macroom has one too. First time I heard it and it was explained to me, I thought, phones lads, use your phones. Easier than waking the whole town to let them know you’re about to go to work.

Yes most of the County Fire Stations have them, I suppose it is a fail safe system if the networks for their pagers etc are down.

There's an air raid siren on the north side too. It rings every time someone gets a job.

That's why you only hear it every few few years

I was in the Metropole one night after a gig and that noise was going off all night. I got no sleep. It was torture. It definitely came from the Port

That gig didn't happen to be on the 31st of December by any chance did it?

Shur why would we want a job when we can draw the dole, get all the benefits, work in the black economy paying no tax and then smile away to ourselves when the idiots look down their noses at us.
