Have a look inside the home of UCC maths professor George Boole

Tommy Barker revisits the one-time home of UCC maths professor George Boole as the 200th anniversary of his birth is celebrated.

When it comes to old and period homes, there’s a lot to be said for continuous ownership, or at least for continuous occupation.

This one-time Cork family home of George Boole – a Gothic confection in genteel suburban Ballintemple – is a shining example of continuity of care, and one of several Cork residences which the late mathematician and progenitor of our digital age is associated with.
