Book chronicles personal reflections on city life

SOME of Cork’s best- known figures have opened their hearts to speak of their sense of place and belonging for a new book.

Fr James Good, the late Charlie Hennessy, the former principal of St Angela’s College Rosalie Moloney, veteran politician Mairín Quill, Professor John A Murphy, and Maighréad O Murchadha, wife of the late sculptor Seamus Murphy, all contributed to the book, Chronicles of Cork: An Oral Record.

Edited by Jane O’Hea O’Keeffe, it is dedicated to the late Susie Crosbie, a former librarian with the Irish Examiner.
