The Garda were pretty active that night too, battered everyone in sight, bottles were stored in the old Beamish brewery for ammo, McCurtain St was dodge central, absolute chaos outside the taxi booths, Punks rioting outside the Arcadia, Bonfire night was a guaranteed mini riot somewhere, a fair few “incidents” at City matches, a few “incidents” at Cork GAA matches.
Cork has utterly changed. We used to be an industrial city, dockers, steel workers, etc.
There’s none of that shit anymore. Biggest problem is what to do with a few dozen chronic drug addicts that hang around the city centre.
