Triskel’s new home has returned to its former Christchurch glory

TO add to Gerry McCarthy’s fine article on Christchurch (April 14).

Historic Christchurch was bought by the City Council in 1979 expressly for cultural purposes to house the Cork City and County Archives service (or Cork Archives Institute as it was then known).

Far from being just a ‘store’, the Archives was in fact the first local authority archives service in Ireland.It has been funded equally by Cork City Council, Cork County Council and University College Cork since 1971.
