Carrigrohane Straight - Conclusion

Conclusion

The Carrigrohane Straight featured prominently in Cork's 800 festivities, with the culmination of the Great Race and Steeple Jack. Other uses of the Straight include the new rugby fields, and nature walks. It is proposed that a continuous riverside walk from the Carrigrohane Straight and the Lee Fields to Ballincollig will open up this area to the public.

Famous quotes containing the word conclusion:

    “It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “The conclusion has never changed: the worst sort of people come here for the worst sort of reasons and put upon those of us who have conveniently forgotten where we came from and how we got here.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    “of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness
    of the flesh.
    Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep
    his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”
    —Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes (l. XII, 13)
