The kids are back to school and you’re still racing around trying to get them sorted?

Say no more. 😉

Books? ✅
Stationery? ✅
Shoes? ✅...and everything else. ✅

joins us in to see just how much of the back-to-school shop you can get sorted in one place.

With a mix of everyday essentials, plenty of choice and easy access just minutes from the city, there’s a reason Blackpool has been part of the weekly routine for so many people on Cork’s northside.

The centre is getting a refresh too; but the idea remains pretty simple: make life easier for the people who use Blackpool every day.

Watch Sinéad take on the back-to-school run. 🎒

Cork’s got some serious cocktail game if you know where to look. We’ve rounded up five spots that are always worth the trip. 🍸

Cork’s Cocktail Hit List
If it’s date night, girls night or you just love a cocktail here’s some of our top picks. #

📍 Monk Cocktail Bar - Relaxed, no-fuss, and exactly where you want to be when you fancy something well made without the fanfare.

📍 Paladar - Small plates, big flavour, and cocktails that hold their own against the menu. Perfect for a night that starts with drinks and doesn’t stop there.

📍 Cask Cork - The one for people who take their cocktails seriously. Proper craft, proper attention to detail, zero shortcuts.

📍 Upstairs - Craft Cocktail Bar - Tucked away and worth finding. Great for a few drinks that turn into a few more.

📍 The Montenotte - Stylish, well-executed, and the kind of spot that makes an ordinary night feel like an occasion.

Sip. Swipe. Repeat. 🥂
Which one’s getting your business this weekend?

Every place has its characters, and has plenty of them.

For generations, Blackpool Shopping Centre has been part of everyday life on Cork’s northside.

And while the centre is getting a bit of a refresh, the real story has always been the people who make the place what it is.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be meeting some of the familiar faces, local characters and people who have been part of Blackpool’s story over the years.

They’ll be sharing their memories, their connections to the centre and their thoughts on what’s changing - and what they hope never will!

Any guesses who will be first up…😎
