Cork’s newest bridge is to be named after Mary Elmes, dubbed Ireland’s Oskar Schindler, following public involvement in the process.

Fr Peter McVerry, founder of one of a leading homelessness charity, has received the 2015 Spirit of Mother Jones Award.

After the death of her husband and four children, Mary Jones risked her life for decades fighting for US workers’ rights says Nicola Depuis.

CORK was urged last night to honour a pioneering Irish woman who fought her entire life for American workers’ and women’s rights.
