SUBSCRIBEThere is something special about the place you come from. The people, the streets, the stories, the shops, the history, it’s all in your DNA. Like growing up in Liverpool, New York, or Tokyo, the people, the way of life, the accent, the perspective you gain on the world, comes from those unique lived experiences you can only get from your hometown.
Being from Cork has always been something I am very proud of. Well, you rarely meet a Corkonian who doesn’t suffer with the vainglorious sense of being overly privileged, blessed even, to come up in a place like Cork.
