The Cork parameter is -country-ie-city-cork, appended to your username. It follows the English spelling rather than Corcaigh, in lower case and without accents.
For a multi-step check, keep one Cork IP with USERNAME-country-ie-city-cork-session-cork1-ttl-10. Sticky sessions last up to 30 minutes (the IP can change earlier).
Geolocation databases sometimes label addresses on the edge of Cork with a neighbouring municipality, such as Ballincollig, Carrigaline, Cobh and Midleton. Read the exit with an IP lookup before a long task.
