VIDEO: Birthplace of Dr Croke set to be restored as museum

A community council has restored a once-derelict cottage which was the birthplace of the first patron of the GAA, Archbishop Thomas William Croke, and plans to turn it into a museum.

Dr Croke, who gave his name to Croke Park, was born in the cottage at Castlecor, Kilbrin, Co Cork, in 1824.

It had been lying derelict since the late 1970s and Kilbrin Community Council began a rescue mission.
