All bets are off as Cork Person of the Year too close to call

NO clear favourite has emerged with the bookies as to the likely winner of the 20th annual Cork Person of the Year award, which will be announced later this week.

It appears, though, that there are four likely front-runners for the title, which include 91-year-old Hollywood screen legend Maureen O’Hara.

Manus O’Callaghan, who organises the event on a voluntary basis, said: “this is the most difficult year of all to pick a winner, so I’m glad it’s the city and county managers (judges) who will make the ultimate decision and not me.”
