It’s time for a new take on the Cork vs Dublin rivalry. Cork is more kefir cocktails than Tanora these days; Dublin reckons it’s like Berlin because it has two intersecting tram lines.

The second city gets a bit of a roasting too though. Because if there’s one thing worse than a Dub, it’s a Cork person who reckons he lives in paradise, boy.
