Carlow: home of Ireland’s only gay resort

Anyone hear the news (username and password required, try gorram@gmail.com/gorram) today that Cosmo Brown’s on Tullow St is to become Ireland’s first gay resort hotel?
Carlow town council are not happy, they had somebody on The Last Word with Matt Cooper today opposing it and waffling about how they’re trying to redevelop Tullow St as more of a shopping area than a nightspot… Considering all of Carlow’s nightclubs and many of its pubs are on this street I don’t see how that’d work anyway.

Rumour has it they’re painting the whole place (Cosmo’s, not Tullow St…) pink. I shit you not.

‘I gave it a good deal of thought,’ Edward O’Donoghue told the Carlow People, ‘and I decided to go with it. Gay people need to be looked after, too. The pink pound is very strong and hopefully, it’ll be successful.’

lol!
