Letter to the Editor: What Tomás MacCurtain said still holds true
In Dr Aodh Quinlivan’s extract in the (January 27) from his new book ‘Cork’s forgotten Lord Mayor - Donal Óg O’Callaghan’; he wrote of the January 30, 1920 election in Cork City Hall of new Lord Mayor of Cork Tomás MacCurtain’s acceptance speech; “...The people do not want speeches. They want the work done and with as little ‘froth’ as possible.
In doing our work, the people expect from us a sacrifice of time and sacrifice, perhaps, of personal interest.
