About us

Cork 2005 started as a nod to one of the finest years this city ever had, when Cork wore the title of European Capital of Culture with real pride. That spirit of celebrating everything Cork has to offer is still what drives this site.

These days we cover the things that matter to people living in Cork and across Ireland. That means local life, the community around us, and the very practical business of keeping a home in good shape. Whether you are thinking about a new driveway, sorting out a damp wall, or finally getting that garden landscaped, we try to share honest, useful information that helps you make good decisions.

We are not a big publication and we do not pretend to be. We are just people who care about Cork and want this corner of the internet to be genuinely worth your time.
