| They already have a Rory Gallagher place and a rather nice monument to the guy, and when I lived there a Gallagher themed Cafe (near where the lobby used to be, don't know if it's still there). I mean don't get me wrong, I like the guy, but surely cork has other musical (and non-music) heroes?
I reckon we should call it Sultans of Ping international airport, not cos I'm a fan, but it would be funny when tourists ask you for directions.  | | | |

| What has Cork airport got to do with Rory Gallagher? An absolutely ridiculous idea. He was a great musican, not Tony O'Leary.

About as much as John Lennon has to do with Liverpool Airport. | | | |

| I dunno, Cork Airport seems like a good enough name for an airport situated in Cork.
I'm hoping to get a taxi rank named in honour of my musical exploits, well maybe a bicycle rack. | | | |

Yeah, just down the way from Mary Black Alley. Actually thats reminds me, on the way out of Temple Bar that leads onto the Ha'Penny there's one of those Rock & Roll blue plaques. Its up so high that its hard to read though, does anyone know who's it for? I wonder are they secerately embarrassed of whoever it is, so they put it in that awkward spot that nobody can see. | | | |
