If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com C.C: What about superstitions was there superstitions about Halloween? W.G: Well there would be a bit about witches and that you would be a bit scary now. C.C: Scared to go out? W.G: That time ya.. Especially now when it would be getting a bit late in the evening. There was a lot more scare around then than then now. Frightening stories would have been told. C.C: Would you be sitting down telling stories now that night? W.G: Well we would like, the father would have plenty of those haunted house stories, we would be running into the corners. C.C: And all about ghosts and spirits? W.G: Oh ya, ya we believed quite a lot about the ghosts around that time. C.C: Was there any particular ones around here, was there any ghost stories? W.G: Ah! There’s one down there in the Boreen, that’s a well know place. It used to be called “The Style”, it was halfway down to the old barracks and going a way back. A lady used to tell me there was a priest seen there on numerous occasions…. praying late by night as we witnessed ourselves later on. I had a horse on the road at the time and the horse would be shying, scared you know, around to one side of the road, and it happened a couple of years later with a second horse my brother was driving. And my sister saw something very unusual down there one night. C.C: Oh! That girl that was home from England. W.G: Ya! C.C: What did she see? W.G: She was doing the romancing down there and saw an enormous cat, she thought she was seeing things first but her boyfriend, who was terribly brave fella, he was known to be a tough man, he got a desperate fright that night, he forgot about the romancing for quite a bit. C.C: What did he see, a big cat? W.G: It was supposed to be a huge cat, I didn’t believe it myself, but my sister said definitely, it was terribly unusual. There was something scary always about that area. My father was sitting up there one night and was pushed off the style and he put out his shoulder actually. C.C: Did he? W.G: So people don’t believe in haunted places. It was very convenient to where a young girl died at the age of 25 years, it was tragic and she is buried only a short distance from that … and apparently that was their premises that they owned, and there’s a style there… and it’s in that gate they used drive with their coach to get up to the house which is the house near me now. They lived in that house. C.C: The house next door? W.G: Ya. C.C: Is that right? W.G: Oh yeah! W.G: Her name is inscribed on the staircase inside, this girl. C.C: She died when she was 25? W.G: She died tragically, there’s a big story about that, but you would want to be sitting down for a while to go through that. But it’s a fact, because it came out on “The Echo” one night. C.C: Did it? W.G: Oh ya! I have the story on it there. C.C: When was that? A very, long time ago? W.G: Oh God that would be back a long way, oh they were French – Delahide was their names. C.C: What was her name? W.G: The father deserted them and went away to America and was away for 25 years and she grew up a beautiful girl and they had a house in Kinsale…. ‘n the meantime she was going around Cork and she met this foreigner or Yankee coming home and they took up together and the romance started off even though he was twice her age but age don’t come between love you know. C.C: I know. W.G: What happened then was, it was getting more serious, so one night he showed her, she asked him would he like to see a few photographs, there wouldn’t be a whole lot of them that time…. cameras weren’t on the go that much. She went through a few photos anyway and she came to this chap about 19 and he said “who was that?”, “ That was my father”…. and he left a gasp out of him, so he didn’t say any more to her that night…. when he sat her down after a few nights later, he said he would have to break off the whole show that’s going on between us, the romance. “What’s wrong?” she said. He said, “that’s me in the photo”. Her own father, she was going to marry him in six months. C.C: You’re not serious. W.G: Oh I am, and you would imagine with the shock that the father would pan out but actually the girl died in a very short time. C.C: Broken heart? W.G: Well, shock I would say. And she’s buried down here, in just adjacent to the Commons Bar. C.C: Is that right? W.G: Yes. C.C: Her grave is there? W.G: Well, it was there, but the stories tell it was consecrated and all for her and the father became a recluse after that, he wouldn’t go out until midnight and drive and coach and he used have the horses’ feet padded and they thought it was a headless coach, …. which it wasn’t, but that was the same style in the gate that he used to go in there because he would be driving up to this house here to see her. The mother had died in the meantime. They had a house in Kinsale, but after she died, he never came out by day after that. But it was very tragic. C.C: And it was a true story? W.G: So that’s how we call it “The Haunted Style”, a combination of the two of them now live! C.C: Was her ghost, was she ever seen? W.G: Well, no. I saw a few things down there, but no like, not really. C.C: Did you see a few things down there? W.G: I met someone coming out the gate on at night all in black holding a white purse, 12:45, I was just coming down from Goulds and I be like my own father, I’d face anything. I’d be brave regards to that. I tracked her down a bit, but I didn’t want to go too far because she thought I might be following her or something. I thought she might go into Onslow Gardens, but she stood under the tree below, for quarter of an hour and I stayed above and there was no move out of her. So I was coming up another night then from Lyons Cottage, I was like a bit of a rover and I saw her again. C.C: The same woman? W.G: Up on the lane, there could be a possibility that she fancied some fella in Onslow Gardens. And then again, she had long hair and she had kind of a cloak on her. That’s why you wouldn’t see too many of them with that on. C.C: She never made a sound or anything? W.G: No, no. Never spoke or anything, so you could take that with a pinch of salt, or with a glass of brandy if you like.

Copyright of the Cork Folklore Project. If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com TMcC: In 1972. And then I came up to UCC straight from the Leaving Cert. And that was really when I arrived in Cork in '72. So I've been in Cork for, what is that 27 years is it? Good God. Terrifying. SH: Was '72 with the Northern situation in a way, it was almost in the sense of em, you know actual military hostilities and the number of people engaged and riots and demonstrations was almost like, the peak of the troubles, of the modern phase of the troubles in one sense like it's become a lot more sophisticated perhaps, a lot of the military activity since then but it never really has reached a no-go areas and things like that. Was there a sort of feeling that this thing was just going to go on escalating or could go on escalating and possibly engulf the whole of Ireland somehow? TMcC: Well you know, I suppose my own situation was peculiar in that really in 1972 at the age of eighteen I was really only interested in myself and my own poetry you know. Everything else that happened was a very distant second. SH: Was it quite a good feeling to be distant from something like that? TMcC: Well, for me it was absolutely necessary because something terrible had happened. Em, when I was a young man, in fact, I was involved in the Fianna Fáil party which would see itself as mainly as the inheritor of old Sinn Féin, as the Republican party, very anti-Britsh, very anti-English and adamantly and furiously confident that Ulster would become part of Ireland, that the British administration of the six counties was only a temporary arrangement. Em, but you see I 1970 when I was sixteen the arms trial blew up in the face of the Fianna Fáil party and split it. So, em by 1972 when I was 18, really I was utterly and absolutely uncomfortable with the Fianna Fáil party. I suppose the kind of people I hung around with, people like John Freher and George Armstrong of Lismore and Ned Lonegan of Cappoquin and that, these kinds of people, they would have been in the PD wing of Fianna Fáil, the kind of Desmond O'Malley wing, not really the Republican wing you know? And so they were horrified by what had happened you know and believed a lot of the anti-Haughey propaganda of the time. And eh, so when I say I was only interested in my poetry and in myself it was probably a kind of survival mechanism as well, I didn't want to really have to deal with all these problems that arose for Fianna Fáil after the arms trial you know. I describe that time actually, and the year 1973 as well, in the novel I wrote 'Without Power'. It's very much sort a way of recapturing that time you know.

How would they have related to that, would they have eh, we’ll say fancied themselves left-wing and rebellious but would they really have extended that to any sort of engagement. What was going on there like in protests about the vote? J F: Well yeah, that came into it and one or two of the more radical ones would have gone to down after school to join with the peoples democracy protests at Queens University and in our debating society and other groups. I remember vividly we invited Austin Curry who was a Stormont MP at the time to come and speak to us. And, that was rather a shameful meeting because there was also a very more vociferous Paisleyite element. Not probably most of the students were a political or would have voted Unionists or their parents certainly would have voted Unionists. But, there was a small left-wing element and there was also a small maybe slightly larger Paisleyite element and when Austin Curry came some of the Paisleyite students were or pupils were rather bad-mannered and displayed a Union Jack and asked rather aggressive questions. S H: How did he cope with it? J F: Well he coped with it well enough but I mean the teachers afterwards have us to understand that this had not been one of the more glorious days of the school's liberal reputation. And, I think they were right. S H: Was he already into the Socialist Democratic and Labour Party then? J F: He was a Nationalist MP I think, SDLP hadn’t quite been formed but he was known for his involvement in civil rights. Yeah, and I think that’s my one main memory of the rioting 68 – 69. But, I mean this is a selfish thing to say, I’m thankful that by the time I left school the real bad violence hadn’t started in Belfast. I mean it did affect the next generation of students. Bomb scares or tape on the windowpanes. S H: Would you have been-- J F: Threatening or it was -- the next generation of students found it difficult wearing the school uniform going if they went home certain ways they were a target. That would be quite painful to live through. S H: Would you have been a bit insulated from it in your area say more so then somebody with class difference? J F: To some degree, to some degree, yes but I mean eh, Belfast is still quite a small place. So, even though my earlier movement was unrestricted you know once the bombs stated I’m talking about a little bit later that became something that involved everybody and you couldn’t escape it. Well thankfully I did escape it, you know you knew it was going on. And, yeah, I mean Belfast through the troubles it's funny because people from my background middle class Protestants would often say oh, you could live in Belfast and not know there was trouble going on. And, I know what they mean but certainly in the 70s when the bombing campaign was on you certainly knew there was mayhem, trouble, terrorism whatever you want to call it. And, one could hear gunfire in, I remember hearing that one night in 1970, you know you couldn’t live in Belfast in the 70s and not know that blood was being shed and lives were being destroyed. S H: Sitting here and reality to all that to be living in essentially sharing the same supply station that we have in London or Paris or something and yet have all this craziness going on and not being able to stop it? J F: Well you just you adapted to it, people do and I remember coming back as a student from England I’d see the difference. Soldiers on the streets with loaded weapons, one presumed they were loaded. I’m sure they were, and then being searched going into shops and all of this minor inconvenience. You go back over the water to England, a society that knew nothing about this at that time. That made me as a young man quite angry, upset but you know?

Title A name given to the resource Rev John Farris: Civil Rights, Christianity, Northern Ireland Subject The topic of the resource Life History; Description An account of the resource Reverend Faris is a Presbyterian minister.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com S.H: Yeah, can you mm tell me something about the games you played as a child? N.H: Well when we moved to Listowel in 1967 I think it was mm we were notorious we were the wild Hennessey bunch that blew into town one day and caused a storm until the day we left, what we used to get up to was ah there was a castle in the square in Listowel, and we used to climb that, get up to the top of it, and there was a gooseberry tree on the top of it and used to eat the gooseberries off it you know. We used to ride horses, we used to ah play games with this goat we had. You’d put down your head forward, and the goat would put down its head forward and run at you, you know, and you’d grab it by the horns and push and it would push you know? We’d ah … we used to… cowboys and Indians and all those things you know that children did back in those days you know. S.H: Can you remember any older sort of traditional childhood sort of games like ah .. variants of ‘four square’ or skipping ‘hopscotch’ boys don’t usually skip but ‘hopscotch’ or marbles or? N.H: Yeah, marbles conkers, ah the spinning top a piece of wood shaped sort of like a cone, and you have a piece of stick with its ring off it and you whip it and it spins, spinning top you know. And yoyos’ we had, but one of my earliest memories would have been in mm in Longford or Laisebrooke?? in the square in Laisebrooke playing conkers during the school break you know. S.H: Yeah. N.H: There was a lot of conker trees around the area you know, but ah .. yeah we had a lot of creatures as pets when we were growing up you know, we’d tortoises we’d hedgehogs, we’d foxes, we’d a hawk we’d ah… S.H: How did you come to have a hawk? N.H: We found - It fell out of a nest, and we had a crow as well. S.H: Gee, at the same time? N.H: Different periods. S.H: What sort of hawk was it do you know? N.H: Just an ordinary hawk. S.H: Yeah. N.H: I think we S.H: Was it friendly or? N.H: We used to feed it you know. I think we let it go, let it into the wilds. But we had a crow, Jacko was its name, and mm it would squawk every time it was hungry and it would be in the garage you know, and we’d go out and feed it bread and milk you know, but ah Jacko – I mean, he used to sit on my mother’s shoulder while she was reading a book you know, and he would try and read, try and communicate with us you know. Or when we had the foxes we used to play with the foxes. S.H: How did you come to have foxes? N.H: Ah my father brought them home one day from Tarbert, when Tarbert Power Station was being built you know, and ah he brought it home, thought that we might like it and its name was Rooey it was a vixen. S.H: What was its name? N.H: Rooey. S.H: Rooey, yeah. N.H: It means red one, red one and mm Rooey, we used to play with it and, it used to eat liver that is all it would do. We eventually gave it to Eamonn De Butleir who had a wild sanctuary up in Dublin somewhere – up in Wicklow. He came down from Wicklow one afternoon while we were at school, but he waited until we came home from school and then he took the fox and let it free in his reserve you know. S.H: Obviously, he thought it was nice to tell you kids it was going, he didn’t just want to take it. N.H: We had got a dog then you see, we fell in love with this pup called Sancha, and ah my mother rather than put the fox down we decided to give it to Eamonn De Butleir and let him look after it you know. S.H: Would the dog and fox not have been able to co-exist? N.H: Not really I wouldn’t have thought so because the fox would have been frightened of the dog you know, even though the dog would have been a pup you know. S.H: Yeah. N.H: They wouldn’t have really got on because the dog would have got older much quicker, and its instinct for a dog to hunt foxes anyway you know.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com SH: Can you remember any things done on big festivals like Halloween or Midsummer’s Eve, stuff like that, people lighting bonfires or playing games? MM: Well, of course, the longest day of the year now is next Monday, the 21st of June. I remember up here on Broad Lane, we’ll always have Bonfire night and we’ll have our cakes and we’ll have Chester cake and we’ll have razza. A small drop of razza with loads of water inside in it, but of course we’ll be carrying trees and sticks and tyres for weeks and weeks and weeks, and no one could touch the place. Nobody would even dream of lighting the fire until bonfire night. But then again our parents were there and they were observing the whole situation as regards bonfire night. SH: Was this out in Ballincollig? MM: This was here. SH: Can you remember anything about that in Ballincollig? MM: No. No, I wouldn’t remember that much of it now, it was - - there was a bit of it in Ballincollig alright but I suppose there was a lot more of it than I would’ve realised. SH: Around here, where did they have the fires? MM: Up in Broad Lane. We used have it in Broad Lane at the time, but of course, there was different gangs. We had the Broad Lane gang and we had the Hattons Alley gang SH: I’ve heard about them. MM: Yeah, so we had some great times, you know. Actually, the very funny thing about the Broad Lane gang Steven, and the Hattons Alley gang was this; we’d walk all the ways out to the Gouldings Glen, which is now built up as a corporation estate, and there could be about eighteen of us walk out, nine aside, you know? Or you might have ten and nine or maybe - - there might be an odd one you know, on one side, one too many. And we’d go out there and we’d fight away, and then we’d come back again because we couldn’t have a fight in our own area because our parents would come out and give us a hiding, you know. We’d go out and we’d have a good fight and we’d walk back the road again together, which was great, you know, it was all over. That’s it. SH: Liam Foley, he told me - - he came from up that way - - MM: That’s right Liam was from Broad Lane. SH: Slightly older generation - - back then, the Broad Lane and the Hatton’s Alley, and he was involved in that himself as a teenager. Or not even as such a teenager, I think around eleven, twelve, that sort of age. MM: Oh, we went a bit older than that. We did yeah, oh we did, we went out to Goulding’s Glen and I tell you something - - I remember then we had the Lido cinema here at the back, you know and we used to have Batman and Robin. I remember a guy called John Hennessy, and he dressed up as Batman, and he made me dress up as Robin. And where the parish priest houses are over, didn’t he jump out the window. It was an old derelict building. Jeez, there was a poor woman going down the road, she nearly lost her life over it. Course we got hauled in over it. SH: Who was going down the road? MM: One of the old ladies around the corner. Around the street, and he shouting ‘here comes Batman’, you know. I tell you something, we got Batman and Robin for about two weeks, we weren’t left outside the door. We went up to school and that was it, end of story. But they were great days.

Title A name given to the resource Mary Healy: Theatre, Gilbert & Sullivan, Society Subject The topic of the resource Life History; Description An account of the resource Mary was born circa 1958, to parents who were both involved in the theatre. Her mother was a professional costume designer. Her father was a stage manager and an actor. She appeared on stage for the first time at the Opera House when she was 7 years old. The family moved to Douglas when she was 4. She talks about her parents’ involvement in theatre. They met while members of a Gilbert and Sullivan group, and another group, Theatre of the South, that put on Summer Revels. She comments that people often joined theatre groups for the social more than the thespian aspect. She herself became involved with Blackrock Players. She comments that Cork people go to shows which reflect both Cork and themselves as Cork people. She talks about the Everyman theatre then based in Father Mathew Street. Most theatre groups are amateur and part-time. She feels that theatregoing was more popular with Cork people in the past and that an audience for plays has been lost. Mary talks about the superstitions associated with theatre, such as not whistling in the dressing room. She recalls a story about a ghostly figure in a showband ballroom. She talks about the fire which burned down the original Opera House building. The opera house site had previously been occupied by the Munster Hall, and then by the Atheneum. She talks about earlier, forgotten theatres of Cork dating from the 1700s, and about The Loft and Father O’Flynn. Her own career has moved from acting to directing to administration.

Copyright of the Cork Folklore Project. If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com SH So what really brought you to Ireland? ML Okay from the practical point of view it was to improve my English because I did a degree you know after dropping my medical studies. I did a degree in English philosophy to become a secondary teacher and then by the time I finished I..my marriage was not going very well whatever you know and a few circumstances were together you know and I wanted to leave the country definitely then. My choice could be an English speaking country and because one of my best friends in Madrid was married to an Irish man from Cork you know she recommended to me that Cork would be an ideal place and everything. I came here and I’m here. I just came for 10 months and now it’s been almost 4 years since I came. SH And what do you think of the relative living standards between the two? Cork and (?) would they be similar standard of living or expectations? Would one be better than the other one? Or what would be some similarities or differences? ML That’s a hard question because I don’t know. There are many differences regarding you know as simple things as times for meals you know? That is kind of a big issue when you first move here you know? For me, it was really difficult to think about having my dinner at 6 when in Spain we never have it before 9 or 10 or if you go out for a dinner even later you know than some it kind of a big difference but I would say that nowadays we could just go towards … there are not so many differences. Most people try to be happy to get a living from their work and to improve their situation. SH Would you think that Irish people had a similar amount of money, disposable incomes, spending power or a bit more? ML No, I would there are more money in Spain because I don’t know how it works but most people that I know they are in debt. That some Irish people have rents in Madrid for example if you consider a teacher married to a nurse lets say their standard of living would be better in Spain than here. I don’t know exactly why maybe the tax system is stronger here or wherever and definitely things like food are much more expensive here than they are… the bare essentials not much you know? They are expensive. SH What about the poorer people do think they would be better off here or the welfare state would be more inclusive here for them? ML Definitely the welfare state is better here you know? They have more support from the state then they will have in Spain but for example, if you think people here they have kind of benefit employment or whatever but the thing is that if you go onto some kind of work in the black market it’s much better paid in Spain then here you know? Then I think that makes the difference because definitely Spain is the country in Europe with the highest rate of unemployment but people are surviving. They are so happy if you go to a disco it’s full of people. If you go to a restaurant it’s full and then I don’t know how people can manage but definitely they are managing.

Eileen, can you remember any of the toy shops in Cork, when you were growing up? E.O'S Well, I can, I tell you what, there was a little shop in Princes Street, "Jays", there was "Woolams" then, we used to call it King Street, it's now McCurtain Street, I suppose it was Kings Street when the British were here. But 'em they used to have beautiful toys in the Grand Parade, you know, and I suppose they had them in Cash's. The Munster Arcade was renowned for toys, big toys too, tricycles and scooters and the like, and Roches Stores, but they didn't go in for toys in as big a way as the Munster Arcade. L.C. Do you remember some of the games you played when you were younger in the street.? E.O'S. Well, we used to have hoops, you know you just rolled them along, and we used to have tops, different types of tops ( spinning tops ) one was a racer, you'd hit it with a stick, you'd buy the stick, it would have a leather type of whip, and you'd hit it and the top would fly along. Hoops, marbles, of course, a very general thing, marbles, called glassyalleys, oh and skipping ropes with handles L.C. What year would that have been about? ( 1920/ 21 ) E.O'S. Oh Lord, I suppose when I was about six or seven, nearly seventy years ago, ha! ha! but 'em there's a shop there where we used to get most of our things, it was at the corner of Oliver Plunkett Street, at the Grand Parade end. They specialised in hoops and tops, and the thing that you whipped the top along with, that was leather on a stick ( a top whip ), hoops, tops, marbles, what else had we?

H: Did you ever hear the phrase ‘‘ lime burners '' applied to the people around Millfield, the Millfield Cottages? L. F: No. S. H: I only mentioned that because somebody told me that, that was a name in the twenties and thirties sometimes applied half-jokingly later to people from around that area because apparently A lot of, quite a few people from that area joined the British forces in the First World War. L. F: Is that right? S H: And, yeah so the story went, and then after independence people didn't want much to do With them, you see because they were “lime burners”, and if somebody's been burning lime there's a horrible stench from them. L. F: I don't know? S. H: No I just thought that you know, perhaps you had heard the phrases, it's interesting to see how far these phrases carry. L. F: The only things I can tell you about the British thing right is, that em, my own mum was nearly killed by a hand grenade in the buildings down here you know Maddens buildings down here, she had just eh, she was in the shop getting messages… S. H: What shop would that be? L. F: That would have been, do you know it could have been Murnane’s, just one of the shops down the street here right, it had to have been right, and she had just got in the door right, and there was this unmerciful bang right, just right where she is and it damaged the door even right ...so. S. H: What happened? L. F: Somebody threw a hand grenade, at one of the Brits I think, maybe one of the rebels, threw it. S. H: Was anyone hurt? L. F: No, no one hurt. S. H: You, can't, she wouldn't remember the year, it would have been 1919 or 1920... L. F: Well she was living in the buildings at that time so, she wasn't married right so she must have been only a teenager, she must have been em, probably around fourteen or fifteen, but I remember her telling me that story. S. H: Did she also tell you something about hearing the shots that killed Thomas MacCurtain? L. F: She did, yeah... S. H: What could she remember about that? L. F: The shots, remember, em, remember hearing the bangs at the time of the, and, I, I'm not absolutely sure of the story but I think at the time, she might have been in somebody else’s house near at hand when it happened, and these bangs went around the place, and nobody, people are used to hearing bangs around then as well of course right ... and, or I said there's some shots gone off right, and it's only then did it come out that they were after being shot you know. So she did hear the shots, yeah. S. H: Did any of them have sort of Nationalist or Republican leanings, your family, or did events more or less pass them by? L. F: They did pass them by but there was always a close, like that thing like about the bomb now going off right, something similar happened to my father because he was a barber first, right, in his young days, when the British people were ruling completely, right, and they used have these sort of eh, I don't know what you'd call them, I suppose eh, this thing that they'd come in with their guns and search every place, do you know what I mean? So they came into the Barbershop and all hand up in the air immediately right and they searched the place and they gave it a real gruelling over, I mean right down into the pots and pans and whatever it was that they had in the thing looking for bombs and he was only a young fella at the time serving his time, he told me this and em, he eh, he was scared out of his livings, because they'd put the gun in your face and that was it right, and when they went away the guys that were, the other two barbers that were there were laughing about the whole thing, and they put their hand up the chimney and pulled down this box full of soot and opened it and here's two guns inside in it, the box right... S. H: You could have all been shot maybe yeah... L. F: Oh, no problem, you know, and he said that was the closest brush that he ever came across. S. H: Were they Black and Tans or Auxiliaries or Regulars or could he remember? L. F: The guys that came in were the Black and Tans, right, and the guys that were the rebels, or what we used to call em in those days, what were they? The IRA I suppose, the Old IRA I suppose, you know... S. H: That's very interesting.

I stayed with her until she died and then my aunt; my mother’s sister reared me then until I was around twelve.

Copyright of the Cork Folklore Project. If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com S.H: Yeah. So did you have a favourite journey when you were driving, a favourite train journey? J.C: Favourite journeys now were, the favourite trains that I worked anyway were the 8 o’clock routes to Dublin, that was a great train. I used do a lot of chaps turns on the 8 o’clock routes because there was money in it, there was nearly double the amount of what you’d earn on other jobs. You see there was all the mileage and the overtime. Well as I say I was a kind of family man and I didn’t spend much away from home. I always tried to make as much as I could for the family like you know. But of course a trip to Dublin on the 5.30, I remember one evening; I’ll tell you about a trip to Dublin. I left Cork one evening at 5.30 and you’d be supposed to pass Charleville at six minutes past six, and I passed Charleville at six minutes past six and at eleven minutes past six I was after passing Charleville down and I was going fairly well. All of a sudden the brakes went on the train. I got on to control and I told them that I was in trouble. I didn’t know what was wrong I said but the brakes were after going on and I said I’d get back to you. I jumped off the engine anyway to go back to the guard to tell him I was in trouble and I hadn't to go far when I saw what trouble I had. There was a hose between the engine and the first carriage, ‘twas gone, it must have blown into a field. The air from the engine was blowing mad you see, I was losing…. S.H: What would the hose do control the air pressure? J.C: Yeah. You see ‘twas the connection for the carriages so when I lost that, I lost all the brake, the brake went on. So I went back to your man anyway, Control and I said ‘I’m in right trouble’ I said, ‘the air hose is gone’ I said. ‘It was blown off’ I said, ‘Jesus’ he said, ‘we’re in right trouble’. ‘Why’, I said. He said ‘there’s no one in Cork to go to your assistance and there’s no one in Limerick. ‘The only thing’ he said ‘I can do’, and ‘twas just quarter past six at this time, he said ‘I’ll send a man down with a hose to you from Dublin on the 6.25’. ‘Is it codding me you are’, I said. ‘6.25, what time will that be down here to me?’. ‘Look’ I said, ‘leave it to me, I’ll see what I can do and I’ll get back to you’ you see. S.H: Right. J.C: And I walked back the train to go back to the guard to tell him that I was in right trouble. On my way back I found a big nut and bolt, right? S.H: Em. J.C: And I was thinking where am I going to get a hose and I thought there should be a hose in the back on the rear carriage. But you see I also thought that they are put on with a machine, so anyway I went back and told the guard, he was gone back a distance now but I gave him a shout and I started beating, flaking the big nut anyway. I flaked and I flaked. Jesus the next thing it started to come, I could feel it slackening and I kept at it and kept at it and I got it. I told the guard to call for a man that was on the train, his name was Mick O’Connell, he was an electrician in Dublin and I saw him on the platform in Cork. Now he was in his good clothes but at least he’d be of some assistance to me. S.H: What do you think the rest of the passengers were thinking by this time? J.C: Well I told your man to tell them that we’d be a while. S.H: Yeah. J.C: So anyway, he called for this Mick O’Connell, the electrician. Mick came out. ‘Jesus’, he said ‘what’s wrong with you’, and I told him. So we went up and I fixed on the tube, the hose and your man gave me a hand to beat it on then like, and I hooked up. Got up on the engine and phoned your man in Control again and I said ‘I’m ready now nearly to go on with this train’. ‘Your not’, he said. I said ‘I am, I’m ready now’. Says he ‘there’s a man on the 6.25 gone down anyway’. So I got the brake, got everything in order, everything was right, got up on the engine and off. Do you know where I met him? S.H: Where? J.C: Above in Templemore. We’d have been about two hours late; I was only half an hour late getting into Dublin. But I was congratulated, I got a letter from Dublin and I got a new uniform and I got fifty pounds and a letter of congratulations, I have it as a matter of fact still. So that was my good trip. S.H: Yeah, and what about Mick O’Connell? J.C: Oh, I’ll tell you the story of Mick O’Connell. In my report then I told them that ‘there was a man travelling on the train, an electrician, Michael O’Connell, and I would be very thankful to you if you would see fit that he should be compensated for the work that he did with me during the break-down’. He was paid four hours and he was brought in on over-time that Sunday. He got a Sunday and he got four hours for working with me. S.H: Very good. J.C: So he was a very happy man.

Title A name given to the resource John Collins: Working Life, Railways, Corporal Punishment, Subject The topic of the resource Life History; Description An account of the resource John was born in 1928. His family was from Bandon. His father worked on the Cork and Bandon Railway and was transferred to the city in 1929, the family living at Killbarry Cottages, Blackpool. The family moved to a house in Lower Road which was also owned by the railway company. John left school at 16 and joined the railway immediately. His earliest memory is of seeing the cattle trains pass the cottages and his dreaming of being a train driver. He tells a story about corporal punishment at school that rebounded on the master. He recalls a supernatural experience at work. John describes his work as a train shunter, preparing trains for travel to various stations, which he says was well paid. His first job had been cleaning the train engines, which he describes as dirty work. Kent station used to employ up to 500 men, but when steam trains were replaced by diesel trains, employment fell off. He worked as a fireman, loading coal into the steam engine, and was stationed in Courtmacsherry and Mallow. He explains that steam train drivers had to be very skilled at their job. He became a diesel train driver in 1962. He tells a story about unexpectedly having to work on a train all the way to Dublin when he was 17. He tells another story about repairing a train brake hose at night and receiving a commendation afterwards. He remembers an incident when a thief stealing barrels of Guinness from the wagons had a leg cut off by the train. He laments the closing of railway lines, particularly the line to Youghal, which he remembers as very busy. John retired in 1993 but retains his interest in the railways.

And there were two white lights and a red light and they broke the red light so at a distance I could see no red light. So, unfortunately, I took the wrong colour then, you see ‘twas two white lights but they were in the wrong position and I went off the road. S.H: Do you think these people do this knowingly, knowing they could cause a terrible smash? J.C: Oh they did of course, ‘twas young fellas like you know. S.H: It could actually cause two trains to collide or something. J.C: Ah no, no, ‘twas only in a shunting-yard, you know. I was unlucky anyway. S.H: How would they get into the shunting-yard? J.C: Oh sure I mean coming from school ‘twas a shortcut going home. S.H: Oh I see it’s not even fenced off. J.C: No, no, ‘twas a shortcut going home you know and they’d be passing these places and unfortunately they broke the light and I walked into trouble over it. S.H: What was that like actually, was it that you got a horrible jolt? J.C: I got a big jolt and it took a while to put her back on the road then you know. S.H: You didn’t have to have time-off work or…? J.C: No, no, I didn’t. S.H: Do they have an enquiry into an incident like that? J.C: Oh there was no enquiry but… S.H: They just come around and have a look, do they? J.C: That’s it, yeah. S.H: Do you have any special railway police? J.C: Oh they’d have police now around Heuston and Inchicore and these places but in the yard over. S.H: Would they be very specialised? J.C: No, no, they’d be a Group 4 crowd you know. They’re around over in the yard you know for fear stuff would be stolen and that kind of thing, the same in all yards where there are Guinness now or groceries or stuff?

J B: Many, many occasions. S H: What do you think, do you think he was one of the greatest of all hurlers? J B: He was, no doubt, he was, he was simply a marvel. But there were many other great players too. Ring had -- S H: Did you meet him? J B: Funny, I met him once and, an unusual occasion, one famous match in Thurles in 1944 and there was no transport in Ireland during the War. And we went to Thurles, we cycled to Thurles, three of us, the two chaps I told you about earlier and myself, three of us cycled to Thurles. We left Cork early Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock and we stayed in Cashel that Saturday night, on to Thurles on Sunday morning. And one of these chaps, Sean Norton, he’s still alive, he was working in Suttons. Suttons had a big store on the South Mall at the time. And Christy Ring was driving a lorry for Williams in Midleton, and he used to come into Sutton's collecting stuff or delivering stuff, one or the other, probably both, but Sean knew him from coming into Suttons, and we were in Thurles on that Sunday morning and we met Christy Ring. J B: And we were only 18, 19, Christy was a couple of years older. And Sean knew him and we spoke to Christy Ring on that Sunday morning and just for five, ten minutes and he went away from us then. And that same day he scored a marvellous goal to win the game for Cork. J B: He did, he did. and he ran fifty yards solo run and scored a great goal. S H: And what do you think were his greatest attributes as a player? J B: Well he was an unusual man. Every game he played, no matter what the occasion, big or small, I would say every fibre of his being went into that game. J B: No matter what it was. And he was more determined than anybody else. And of course, he excelled in all parts of the game then you know, striking, lifting, hitting, everything, he excelled in everything, he was a truly marvellous man. But it was his, just his grim determination to get the ball you know, I think that singled him out above everybody else. S H: Yeah. Did he have a great tactical sense of the game? J B: Oh he had. He had. But that came with advancing years then. But there were three different Christy Rings. His career spanned a long time and for the first eight, nine years he was a beautiful young hurler, truly a joy to watch, and he suffered a lot in that time from close marking and by close -- I would say nasty marking. And then for the second period, he was a hard man, he gave back what he got, just as hard as he got he gave back and these were his great days, he was a truly marvellous man then. And then for his third period he to use your rugby cliché, he got his retaliation in first. J B: Yeah. He was, he was -- S H Turned mean? J B: Mm, he was. You had three different Rings. And I mean you hear older people now, of course, only old people remember Ring now, and depending on what county you came from or what club you supported, they remember the Ring that suits their own point of view. S H: Yeah. J B: But there were three. S H: And do you think despite that like obviously he had to develop a certain level of aggression to survive I suppose but, and succeed, but was he basically a fair player? J B: Oh he was, he was. S H: A clean player? J B: He was. God, I saw him doing some wonderful things. In his dying days, you might say when he was on his last legs I saw him and the way he could chase after. I saw him doing this --- a ball going into the corner and he would chase after a fullback and the fullback would be younger and faster and the fullback would reach out and Ring would race out and then just 15 yards before the fullback got to the ball Ring would suddenly vary away from the ball and the fullback would get to the ball and he’d hit it out and Ring would be waiting out 15 yards to catch the fullback’s and score, and I saw him doing that on a couple, what, on at least two occasions. S H: Yeah? Just on instinct really Ability to read the play? J B: Twas, 'twas the look on the fullback’s face.

Title A name given to the resource Jack Byrne: Blackpool, World War Two, Sports Subject The topic of the resource Life History; Description An account of the resource Jack talks briefly about life history and remembers local sporting heroes such as Christy Ring. Jack (born circa 1926) grew up in O’Connell Street. His parents were both Northsiders. His father worked for the Post Office. His mother was born in 1888 and grew up on Scoura Hill. (Jack believes the term is a corruption of an Irish word, translating as Hungry Hill.) His father’s mother had a shop at Wherland’s Lane until 1922. He mentions the Bride River and a walk along it called Debtor’s Walk where people who owed money could travel without being seen. He talks briefly about the ghost known as the Foxy Lady, which may have been the image of a young woman killed by machinery in the Sunbeam flax mill. His father served in the British army and he says his neighbourhood had many ex-servicemen; he muses on people’s attitude to the Second World War, and on Irish neutrality. He liked hurling and soccer and recalls cycling to Thurles in 1944 to see a match, and meeting Christy Ring. He describes Ring’s playing.

H P: Oh sure that was another ordeal another event we used to organise we used to have filmmakers in from England and everywhere and from Yugoslavia and Denmark and America and they used to come yea and we used to have, we used to organise a parade like St. Patrick’s day parade I have it on video actually the whole parade I have and they would walk in the parade and we had the Civil Defence and all the Majorettes and we had them, who else had we em, the Cork Rose we had Roney Drew we had them all and em Cornel em whats his name Cornel Mc Lindon is it, I can’t think of his name now, he was the fellow that used to fix up the parade for me I think he’s from Wellington Road. MO’M: Glendon. H P: Glendon yea Major Glendon is it. MO'M: I think he was a Colonel I think he was yea. H P: But he used to organise the thing and we used to have St. Finbars pipe band and we used to have all the bands from Carrigaline and Ringaskiddy ea young peoples band we used to have all them buy ea it was great. MO'M: But why did it die off a bit then, ok the festival is still running I know that and it's still very strong because I was at it and I saw the turnout but like you wouldn't have that parade now today. H P: because it would be another event to organise and there wouldn't be enough people on the ground to do it and we used to hold the films in the cameo that them years as well and the place used to be packed and we had the people from the Irish film board down, and ea RTE came down and they came down to take a few minutes of the festival and they stayed for 4 days and filmed it all and ea we had a whole heap of things to do I don't know how we did them but we did. MO'M: Of course it's getting people to do it now today. H P: But it's all on a voluntary basis you know there's no pay. MO'M: And I suppose it's hard to keep people then is it? H P: No the people we have are so involved that they love it so much and when I see films they be some out there foreign and they have a camera and they get an event to film and they have upon it amateur video and that annoys me because it isn't shoddy because I says the word amateur for love of doing it. MO'M: That's true yea. H P: That's only a second-hand kind of a thing you know but em I said to the person behind the camera, actually it's the person behind the camera is the person thinking that makes the film and not the camera.
