Cork people are now calling for their own independence vote

Corcaigh abú!

SO, SCOTLAND HAS decided that it’s going to remain part of the UK, voting No in yesterday’s referendum.

But all this talk of independence has given SOME people (*cough* CORK *cough*) ideas.

Scotland says no to independence. Now it should be #Cork s turn to vote!

However, some are concerned about the effects of local unrest.

Hoping my #indyref tweet about Cork wasn't the cause of the #corkpong
