I wouldn't consider it a stub. If you have ever been to Fermoy, that paragraph just about explains everything :)
"the decision by Mary Harney to introduce risk equalisation to the Irish Health Insurance market, effectively forcing Bupa out of the Irish Health Insurance Market" - Kdivad 18:38, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
I've never heard of the 'famous' businessman, JJ Bunyan. Can anyone confirm this is a legitimate claim? Any references? ( Sarah777 00:52, 15 February 2007 (UTC))
This was a fairly good article but recent additions are not helping. Needs an editor. Sarah777 ( talk) 23:06, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
Is this encyclopoedic? I think it should be removed from the article. Seighean ( talk) 18:11, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
"The Weir Saga" (as the local paper calls it) is one of the most controversial proposed developments that the town of Fermoy has seen. It is a "live" issue in the town at the moment. I don't apologise for being one of the people involved in the campaign but would suggest that the language in the entry is as neutral as possible. As to the inclusion of the link, surely this external link is as valid as any other? -D. O'Keeffe D. O'Keeffe ( talk) 21:10, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
Why?
The external link surely refers the interested reader toward the relevant site and, as you said yourself, the site is valid. You're right, a contrary opinion would balance our website. The problem is, the proposed work was sold as necessary, indeed essential, because "Europe" would fine Ireland out of existence if it were not carried out. We went to Europe and have proven these claims to be groundless.
So, best of luck finding a valid contrary perspective. We are a small group of citizens fighting against the forces of central government. The only strength we've been able to harness is our own innate weakness.
Hopefully, David always has at least a shot at winning. And fair play to you for your stance against censorship.

Re:Gulio Lopez Hi. Regarding the use of the word Barony, it is incorrect to say the use of the word Barony has less relevance today. The truth is the word Barony has no/zero relevance today. You will not find any mention in any governmental documents or the constitution. It's a term that is extinct and of no reference.As someone who is from Cork and Fermoy this is a term I have never heard referenced, only on Wikipedia. It's also quite insulting as it's a term that was used during the British occupation.
I think it's fair to have the reference to the Barony in the history section of the page. This is logical. According to Wikipedia the term has "been administratively obsolete since 1898". It's strange that Wikipedia would contradict itself. 2001:BB6:11D9:9700:94E4:D829:4ACD:45F5 ( talk) 14:21, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
In a recent series of edits (including these two), an anon editor has removed the mention of the historical barony, in which Fermoy sits, on the basis that it has "no relevancy in the 21st century". (And something about "thousands of Irish people [having] died to break free from [the concept of baronies?]"). As per my own note (and the convention in dozens of other articles, from Glasnevin to Finglas and Cahir to Knock), it doesn't seem unreasonable (and seems consistent with convention) to mention the barony in the lead. Perhaps even more-so in the case of this article where the town of Fermoy doesn't sit in the barony of Fermoy. I have restored the long-standing convention. And opened this thread. Per WP:BRD. Happy to have a policy-based discussion on the topic. To consider what issues there are and what solutions may be available. Guliolopez ( talk) 19:34, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
