Politicians

Local politicians have been outraged by the amount of money laid out. “I’m outraged,” said Michileen Murphy, “it’s outrageous this kind of carry on boy.”

Knobs

When the costs were broken down it emerged that almost €6000 was spent on polishing door knobs and knockers in the city.

Knockers

“I’ve been polishing my own knob since I was thirteen,” said John, a local Sligo lad. “I wouldn’t mind half of that money for polishing knobs but I wouldn’t touch a Cork knob, no way. You have to have standards,” he explained, “but then again I’d love to have a go with Cork Knockers.”
