Description
Edward a born a bred Cobh man was born in 1949. After finishing his leaving certificate he attended University College Cork for a year, but says it was not for him. Luckily Seán Lemass had changed the rules on who could be accepted into trades (before this you had to be the son of a mason to be accepted in the trade). Edward did his apprenticeship with PJ Hererty's. He describes how he got into the trade, what the pay was like, and what the conditions were like. Edward talks about the customs of masons, like sharing tobacco, vouching for other masons.
