Memories and unique stories recorded

SOME of Cork’s best- known figures have spoken of their sense of place and belonging as part of a new book.

Fr James Good, the late Charlie Hennessy, the former principal of St Angela’s College Rosalie Moloney, politician Mairín Quill, Professor John A Murphy, and Maighréad Ó Murchadha, wife of the late sculptor Séamus Murphy, have 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.
