County Cork
(Corcaigh in Irish) is the second city of the Republic of Ireland. The principal city and administrative centre of County Cork and the largest city of the province of Munster, it is situated slightly inland from the southern coast proper.

The River Lee flows through the city, an island in the river forming the main part of the city centre just before the Lee flows into Lough Mahon and thence to Cork Harbour, one of the world\'s largest natural harbours. The city is a major Irish seaport - with quays and docks sited along the broad waterway of the Lee on the city\'s East side. The city proper has a population of 123,062; this increases to 186,239 if the suburbs of the city in the Cork County Council area are included. The county (excluding city) has a population of 326,767 (CSO 2002).
