For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource LGBT Collection Subject The topic of the resource Stories and memories of LGBT life in Cork City and County. Description An account of the resource The LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) collection was launched and created in August 2014 by Stephen Dee and Dermot Casey, researchers at the Cork Folklore Project. The Project was established to record and preserve stories and memories of LGBT life in Cork City and County, with a focus prior to decriminalization in 1993 but also to document the important achievements and struggles that contributed to a society that today is far more accepting of LGBT people. This is proven today with the legalisation of same sex marriage through popular vote and the increased visibility of LGBT people in all areas of public life. The collection’s aims are to explore three main aspects: ‘Personal Recollections’ including but not limited to identity, coming out and experiences of homophobia; ‘Community Stories’ based on certain areas, streets, and forms of social interaction within the LGBT community; and ‘Political Movements’, chronicling political events, motivations and outcomes such as the creation of the Cork-based Irish Gay Rights Movement in 1976, Cork Gay Collective in 1980, and UCC Gay Soc in 1980. Each interview we conducted was unique with each interviewee covering some or all of these topics and with some areas being explored in depth. We hope the material can complement LGBT research in Ireland and also stimulate further interest amongst the public in LGBT history. To date we have distributed some of this material to the public with an audio visual presentation on YouTube and in 2016 in conjunction with Cork City Partnership for LGBT Awareness week we produced a public exhibition of our sound excerpts at Cork City Library. Special thanks to all our interviewees and also to Alvina Cassidy whose research also features in this collection. This LGBT collection of interviews is stored within the Cork Folklore Project permanent oral history archive run in conjunction with UCC’s Folklore and Ethnology Department and Northside Community Enterprises, with both a physical and digital presence. As with all our material, access to full interviews is supervised through a variety of permissions and forms.

E K How would I define drag? Well, I think drag has changed over the years, drag has gone from very straight up guy in a frock lip-synching to more performance art, to now it has evolved so much over the years. Now there is drag where people don’t even consider it drag, because it is just what people look like or decide what they want to wear or you know, you know drag is a kind of a funny one really you know because, again it all depends on what you, what you consider drag and the era of the drag artist. D C Yeah. E K You know, that they take on. So I mean, you know you have guys with beards these days who just wear makeup and that is considered drag, you know, you have, [pause] then you have got your Drag Kings, which I guess has been happening for quite a long time, where you have women who dress as men or you know women who have facial hair and call themselves Drag Kings. And so like I think, drag to me is fun it is not to be taken seriously and it is that’s what I think drag would be and it is about expressing yourself really I guess and kind of unleashing a side to you that you might never get a chance to do unless your that other alter ego I suppose, you know? D C So do you think it kind of had an impact on Cork and influenced people? E K Hugely. D C And changed -- E K I think that most definitely, I think that I found with Alternative Miss Cork at the start when we just started it off it was mainly just gay, do you know what I mean, it was just gay people you know, who came to the show and then the second year you could see gay peoples friends coming along. Then the third year you could see just gangs of straight people coming in because they have heard, they heard it was such a good laugh and so different, and then again you know, you saw even with the last Alternative Miss Cork we ever did, like you know over the years we went from doing small venues, to, to, to packing out the Savoy where you have got like eleven hundred people coming to this Drag show do you know what I mean, competition, drag, this, this drag competition you know, and I mean [pause] there was just like, it was actually half straight and half gay by the end of it you know. You had couples coming in, one of the shows we did was on Valentines night I think like there was an awful lot of straight couples went to it because they were just so bored of like going sitting in a restaurant with a candle between them, you know, it kind of gave people something else people to do. But I think it definitely influenced Cork I think it opened up a lot of peoples minds to diversity and to people’s sexuality as well and I think it also helped the gay scene to unite a bit because and create a bit of competition but it kind of pulled a lot of people out of the woodwork who wouldn’t necessarily be on the gay scene all the time and I think there was a lot of friends made from Alternative Miss Cork, and I think in general it was really good for the, for the, the, the Gay scene and [pause] the entire city.

Title A name given to the resource Eddie Kay: Drag queens, Gay scene, Alternative Miss Ireland, Subject The topic of the resource Stories and memories of LGBT life in Cork City and County. Description An account of the resource Eddie Kay was interviewed for an article on the Alternative Miss Cork competition that will feature in the Archive Magazine Issue 18. He was chosen as an interviewee because of his experience of organising and co-founding the Cork event. The interview came about due to knowing the interviewee socially, and from having experience of volunteering for the Alternative Miss Cork. Eddie talks about the establishment of the Alternative Miss Cork show as part of the city’s gay scene. Eddie explains how it was organised tentatively until it blossomed into an event attended by both gay and straight communities and eventually filled The Savoy theatre. After 20 years the Alternative Miss Ireland competition in Dublin closed and the Cork competition did the same. The Cork show broke down barriers between the gay and straight scenes and between the gay scene and local businesses.

Title A name given to the resource Grattan Street Stories: Memory of Place Subject The topic of the resource Occupational Lore; Life History; Built Heritage; Health; Ireland; Cork; Middle Parish Description An account of the resource This collection focuses on a building on Grattan Street which has served as a Quaker Meeting House, a public Dispensary and as the Grattan Street Health Centre. The project was a collaboration between the CFP and the Cork North Community Work Department, Cork Kerry Community Healthcare, Health Services Executive HSE. The interviewees fall into two main groups: those who worked in the building and those who lived in the surrounding area and availed of the services provided in the building. This project follows on from the collaboration with the HSE in the “<a href="https://corkfolklore.org/archivecatalolgue/collections/show/10" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HSE Orthopaedic Hospital Oral History Project (d'Orthopaedic)</a>”. There is a further connection between the two projects as many of the staff and services once provided in the Grattan Street Health Centre have now relocated to St. Mary's Health Campus (St Mary’s Primary Care Centre) Gurranabraher, the former site of the Orthopaedic Hospital. This topic of the relocation of services is also covered in some staff interviews. To date (October 2021) 13 interviews have been completed for the project. Interviewees discuss the Grattan Street building itself in terms of its historic significance, its benefits and drawbacks as a workplace. Broader themes related to or inspired by the building are also touched on including: personal relationship with the building, staff camaraderie, the problems with parking, memorable incidents at work, patient experiences and descriptions of the people and services for which the building catered. Healthcare professional interviewees detail their training, career progression and comparisons between Grattan Street and other workplaces. Their testimonies also provide a link with the community of patients they served giving further insight into attitudes to healthcare, diseases, vaccines, description of social conditions and the changes in medicine and technology in their working lives. Non-healthcare professional interviewees describe childhood experiences in or around Grattan Street (The Marsh or The Middle Parish), the social, cultural and economic conditions of the area, tenements, businesses, attitudes to and experiences of healthcare, vaccines, diseases, medicines and medical professionals as well as observed changes in these areas over time. Interviewees also reflect on the possible future uses of the Grattan Street building. Related Reference Sources <ul> <li>Barrington, R. (1987) Health, medicine and politics in Ireland, 1900–1970.

Was always interested in nature and biological sciences: “mad about nature”. When 13 or 14 a friend brought a roadkill mink to science class to dissect it. The teacher was a bit squeamish, but Edith said she would do it “no bother”. Remembers “pure awe” at how remarkably perfect the insides were, “how it all fitted, and it all worked”. Had dissected earthworms before. Drifted then to wanting to do medicine. Set her heard on it. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.11.19- 0.14.09 </td> <td> Medicine as a Vocation, the Determination Required Mom and dad really didn’t want her to do medicine at all. They called in the local GP to tell her not to do it- which had the opposite effect. She applied for medicine at 16 when she sat her leaving cert for the first time and had to repeat it because she didn’t get enough points. In some ways in hindsight her parents were probably right. It is a hard life and requires working very hard for a very long time. Edith was a premature baby and was always physically small and thin and her parents were concerned. Her colleague with an Italian grandmother described the need to do medicine as being like a holy fire [Note: “sacro fuoco” maybe?] similar to a vocation but perhaps not spiritual. If you have this fire nothing else will do. She also applied for computer science. If she hadn’t done medicine in college, she thinks she would have gone back to do it later in life. Local GP told her it’s a very hard life for a woman- which is not the thing to say to a 15-year-old. Thinks the nuns that taught her was feminist in their way as they were ambitious for their students. The GP said that you don’t want to do nightshifts when pregnant or be on call when you have small babies. The cards are very much stacked against you to make it in medicine as a consultant as a woman. Edith says he was right but that you don’t want to hear that at 15. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.14.09- 0.15.17 </td> <td> Nuns’ Ambition for the girls Only one in school to do medicine. Many of the students did honours maths. There was competition between the boys’ school and the girls’ school. They’ve now combined. Some schools didn’t offer honours maths or honours science subjects to leaving cert for girls. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.15.17- 0.18.40 </td> <td> Medical Training in UCC University College Cork Didn’t love medicine in UCC. Didn’t find the training easy- a culture of throwing people in to it. Students told that most of them would become GPs and that medical students learn themselves they don’t need to be taught. Lectures often had little relevance to what was in the book. Clinical training involved bullying, teaching by fear, humiliation. Consultant was seen as god. Lots of waiting around for people who didn’t turn up. Mental fallout for some of the people in her class. And the system may not have made them better doctors. Saw how students were taught differently overseas. Students were getting sick in the morning with nerves before clinics. Had friends who weren’t doing medicine. Met her now husband at 19. Always had something outside of medicine to stay grounded. Always liked the clinical work and the patients. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.18.40 - 0.23.40 </td> <td> Clinical Training Book learning- through lectures. Clinical placements for students with a particular service for a time follow their team and learn how to take a patient history and examine a patient. Initially must ask about everything when taking patient histories until you know what to look for. Lived in nurses’ home in Limerick for six weeks. Consultant would take you to see an interesting patient to ask you questions. Some were fine but some were set up so that you would definitely fail so that you know that you know nothing and be humiliated. It was done to everybody no one was singled out. Describes how the consultant asked students questions. Thinks that the experience has left a mark on her and otherwise confident colleagues as they sometimes have difficulty answering questions in group settings, or when in a particular tone. Describes it as like being triggered. Edith didn’t go to one consultant’s clinics because she found she wasn’t learning from him. No one would notice if she wasn’t there. Jokes that she hopes UCC doesn’t as they’ll take away her degree! </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.23.40- 0.25.25 </td> <td> Why this teaching system was used in UCC Consultants wanted to imprint the exceptions and rare cases on their minds so they wouldn’t forget. It was basically the Socratic method. They were once told that they weren’t good enough to be medical students. Then not good enough to be the vets in Ballsbridge and lastly that they weren’t good enough to be the medical correspondent in the Irish Times! Sounds funny now but at the time they were devastated. But Edith still remembers the name of the particular type of amputation due to this scene. This system of teaching & learning was designed when people need to remember a lot of information. Now things have changed as “all the information is there” now you need to learn how to use it. An interesting patient is one which had something which was rare. Edith describes it as something with four legs, a tail and neighs but is a zebra not a horse. </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td> 0.26.05- 0.30.07 </td> <td> Career Path for medical students SHO- senior house officer. After qualifying you become an intern. After a first year as an intern you can become an SHO. Then become a Registrar, then a Senior Registrar, Specialist Registrar and eventually a Consultant. SHO could be 2-4 years long. SHOs are the general grunts they do all the hard work. Edith did 6 months surgery in Mercy Hospital, 6 months of medicine in the South Infirmary Hospital and really enjoyed them. Every thirds week in the Mercy they worked 110 hours. In hindsight they had “ridiculous levels of responsibility”. Then did the 2 year specialist paediatric training scheme in Dublin. Then did paediatrics in New Zealand, then accident and emergency. Did GP training in New Zealand. Returned to Ireland when her eldest daughter was 1. Worked as GP in Cork. After her twins were born Edith went back to work when they were 8 months old. She worked for Swiftcare for 5 years. Husband stayed at home to mind children and was going to go back to work. She was clinical lead with Swiftcare which included corporate, management and clinical.

It was real doctoring. The immediacy of it. See lots of different things. Got her clinical confidence- could deal with anything. Security removed anyone who was abusive. There was always enough resources, staff, beds. People weren’t burnt out in the way they are in Ireland. Requires being on call on nights. Did A&E in the Hutt outside wealthy Wellington CBD Central Business District and Porirua. Deprived areas around the Hutt so there were cases of self-harm, domestic abuse and patients from lower-socioeconomic areas. Gravitated towards those areas, similar in her time in Temple Street. In Cork Edith works mainly in the Northside. The social supports either weren’t there or didn’t work in her experience in Ireland. Children unable to access basic dental care was unheard of in New Zealand where they have better primacy care. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.33.44- 0.36.36 </td> <td> Early Memory & description of Grattan Street Medical Centre A woman working downstairs said it was like coming to Colditz [German WW2 Prisoner of War Camp]. Arrived with a friend. Everyone was so nice. An old Quaker Meeting House. In busy urban areas between a school, busy road, houses, church complex. Hodgepodge! Kind of Victorian road frontage. Older building at the back made of cut stone. Higgledy-piggledy. Different types of signage. There’s a bit of a railing and bit of a ramp. Building kept together with duct tape and bits of binder twine. It’s a bit sad looking. But it has been here a long time and will be here in the future. A building that’s seen use and is embedded in the community. In keeping with Middle Parish. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.36.36- 0.39.02 </td> <td> Services in Grattan Street Medical Centre Health centre which provides community-based services for people based in Middle Parish, inner-city area, eye clinic provides community eye services for all of the North Lee HSE area- from Blarney to Carrigtwohill.

More likely to engage with a PHN who you may have been to before than an anonymous person in an anonymous clinic that changes each time you go. Community knowledge of Grattan Street in a way that there isn’t for CUH. Grattan Street doesn’t deal with life and death so expectations are different to a hospital. Physically less distance for people to travel in the community. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.40.40- 0.43.44 </td> <td> Working in Grattan Street Communal Building Uses Grattan Street for office-based work. Some clinics in Grattan Street but the demographics have changed and there are fewer babies and young children in the area. Primarily paper-pushing and renewing the connections that you have with the people who work in Grattan Street. Clinics in South Doc so it’s possible for Edith not to meet any other healthcare professionals only patients so Grattan Street is a social hub and important part of the job where information is transmitted in a more informal way not through writing. Importance of feedback. And Grattan Street facilitates that. Communal building. Can see people walking past and talk to them if you leave your office door open. Facilitates those networks. You will know who is in the building and check in with Celine in the office to see who else is there and what is happening.

Anything referred in by the PHN or the assessment of needs- the disability services, and early intervention- concern with an ongoing developmental delay in child in the community. Checks for vision, head checks, hip checks. Partly routine partly not routine. Patients tend to be very early or very late. People will turn up 30 minutes early or 15-20 minutes late. Other places people turn up on time or a few minutes late. But with small babies delays happen for parents. Staff has high tolerance for that. Sometimes a mum will come with other children as well, or with a granny or granny will come with the children or there will be a friend or helper there too. Majority of patients come from PHNs. Form from PHN saying who their GP is and why they’re being referred. Always checks their names especially as more and more patients don’t have a typical Irish name. Some of them change mobile numbers often so checking those details is important. Change of address is also a problem. Some come from Edel House a women’s homeless service. Takes a background history or birth history- where they were born, birth weight, past medical history. Discuss risk factors, examine patients and how to proceed and be very clear with follow up instructions with the parents. We only remember 30% of what we are told. Usually don’t see patients again- not a follow up, ongoing service, don’t provide therapeutic intervention. “Good at normal”- this is within the range of what we expect. Much of medicine is about the abnormal. Most usual medical issues she deals with: Vision checks for squint, hip checks- concern about deformation, head checks. Developmental assessment- concern about autism or global developmental delay or intellectual disability. Preschools are good at spotting developmental concerns and referring them. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.51.20- 0.54.53 </td> <td> Attitudes of Parents towards Health & Medicine and HSE Parents want the best for children and are happy to do the best what it takes. Rare case where parent is in denial about their child’s situation- Edith doesn’t hassle them so as not to sour therapeutic relations down the line. Most people engage unlike adult medicine. Some parents may have complicated or chaotic lives and social workers may need to get involved. Advocate for the child’s best interests and is represented in the family. Even parents with most complicated lives can address the child’s needs. HSE is different. Expectation of a bad service especially where Grattan Street looks a bit rough and ready, but surprised that they get a good service and Edith is pleasant and doesn’t rush them out. Difficult conversations about telling parents of long waiting lists. Edith cannot speed up assessments. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.54.53- 0.58.43 </td> <td> Most Unusual Cases come across Doesn’t like unusual. Should not be seeing anything acute or sinister. A child staring into space could have autism sometimes it could be an absence seizure which needs a difficult treatment. Genetic abnormality which causes a developmental delay. Acute cases usually picked up by the paediatricians. Be careful about not scaring parents. Sometimes parents are reluctant to go to hospital. Acute cases are the ones that you think about when you go home and are not at work. Acute is something which cannot wait. Less concerned about something which is stable and isn’t going to change eg if someone is fragile X a chromosomal condition which causes developmental delay, commonest cause of intellectual disability- if a patient has this it is not going to go away. But if there’s a child you think has a brain tumour which has given them an acute squint which has come on over 24 hours out of nowhere then you don’t want to wait. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.58.43- 1.01.44 </td> <td> Dealing with Parents Reluctant to go to Hospital Most parents want what’s best for child. Sometimes parents can sometimes be preparing to fight to get what they think their child needs, and be adversarial. Can spend much of consultation time to get the parent onside. Have to be careful to not reinforce the idea that the parent thinks they need to push harder to get what they want. Explains that she wouldn’t do for someone else’s child what she wouldn’t do for any of her own. That can be a powerful message for a parent. If that doesn’t convince them then she has to start thinking about social workers: is there child abuse, is the parent drunk or stoned. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.01.44- 1.02.30 </td> <td> Why People may be reluctant to go to Hospital Down to resources: can’t afford taxi, no one to mind children, don’t want to go to CUH Cork University Hospital. Often single mums, mums without social supports, or trying to work and mind children. Physical upheaval is difficult. Logistically and economically difficult for parents. Example from Gurranabraher. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.02.30- 1.04.58 </td> <td> What it is like to work in Grattan Street Unique. Communal building, sense of community. Even people that you don’t deal with clinically you get to know which is important. Buildings are about the people in them not just the services they provide. Physicality of the building- open gallery- you can see & hear who is there. Would prefer it if was a warner building. Survivor bonding over the deficiencies of the building. Problems with parking. People say they work in Grattan Street not in podiatry. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.04.58- 1.06.24 </td> <td> Parking Small area for parking, not big enough for all the people who work there. Have to move your car to let people out. Didn’t park in the car park when working a half-day because wouldn’t be able to get out. School and houses also use the parking area and they can get cross if they are blocked. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.06.24- 1.09.12 </td> <td> Past of the Building Quaker meeting house. Building is set up like a church- entrance with arch and sweeping staircases, ceiling roses, curved picture rails. Awareness of the thickness of the walls and windows, not the typical shape for an office building or healthcare centre. Stone plaques outside in the parking area which commemorate the building. Was a dispensary from the 1940s one of the school nurses on the list of interviewees has a friend whose father was the dispenser or pharmacist there. Some of the came to Grattan Street as children for speech and language therapy. No anecdotes about when the lights went out or when it flooded. Cultural understanding of dispensary is that it was a publicly funded pharmacy but that they were fairly grim places for the ordinary not the great and the good. Lots of rooms and big building. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.09.12- 1.11.37 </td> <td> Weddings in the Registry in Grattan Street Other part of the building is the registry office at the front where people get married. Weddings out the front when coming to work. Children crying and elderly people. Swathe of human life. Unusual to see weddings in the urban work environment which makes everyone smile. And she will miss that when they move. Thinks other employees will have stories and anecdotes. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.11.37- 1.15.00 </td> <td> Paper & Documents in Grattan Street No one would believe how much paper is in the building. No one removes paper because no one knows who it belongs to. Paper based system for records. Accretions of paper. Shared office space where very little is thrown away. Extraordinary volume of paper created and used. Referrals done on duplicate books with carbon copy. Referral books for services which no longer exist- going back as far as the 1970. Old computers unused. Random boxes of leaflets. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.15.00- 1.18.10 </td> <td> Words to Describe Grattan Street and its future Community. Resilience. Service. If it was a dog it would be a Labrador, and old smelly one with bad teeth that farts a lot! A pet that everyone loves. Would hate to see the building closed and empty. Sense of spirit in the building. Understands that Quakers signed over the building with the view that it would be used for health services to the community. There’s no disabled access or toilets at present. Buckets in kitchen when it rains. Won’t do well if it is left empty and cold. Community based health resource rather than offices and admin. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.18.10- 1.22.13 </td> <td> Future of Services moving from Grattan Street Services moving to St Mary’s health campus. Podiatry moving to St Mary’s. PHN have moved already. Vaccination will move to St Mary’s. Eye clinic will move to St Finbarr’s. Dental has gone to Finbarr’s. Unsure about European Health Cards. Home Care may stay here. Marriages will stay. They have had little information about the services. Understands the complexity of project managing the move. Eye clinic will be physically remote from St. Mary’s. Lose sense of networks even though you can still pick up the phone. Lose contacts and networks and personally knowing people in other services. Personal knowledge of how other people work. It gives you more information about how to triage or perceive a referral when you know the people. Anything that interferes with getting information relevant to the patient and decision-making will make her job slightly harder. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.22.13- 1.25.19 </td> <td> Sense of Patients’ Perspectives Some clinic space may have to be kept in Grattan Street because of the most vulnerable patients in the area eg. from Edel House and newly arrived immigrants, and people who have moved out of direct provision. Families where English might not be first language and from backgrounds where there might be poor healthcare. Travel may be difficult for these patients, especially going “up the hill” to St Mary’s. Will advocate strongly to keep a clinic in Grattan Street- it’s easier to move 1 doctor to see 30 patients than vice versa, and do not need any specialised equipment. Grattan Street is a disaster for people with cars- St Mary’s is much better it has parking, space and coffee shops. Ensure that better services elsewhere don’t leave more vulnerable patients behind. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.25.19- 1.27.47 </td> <td> Comparison between Grattan Street and St. Mary’s St Mary’s will have: heating, lifts disabled toilets, large waiting areas, easy access. [Edith’s phone vibrates during this section] In Grattan Street if you are on crutches you can’t come to work. St Mary’s will fix these problems. Change is hard. [Edith’s phone vibrates during this section] With a new start if gives the staff a chance to effect the culture of the new building. Everyone in the building making small inputs. Christmas lunch potluck and baby showers in Grattan Street for which there is no policy or permission required people organised it themselves- autonomy and power. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.27.47- 1.31.31 </td> <td> Culture of the New Building & Importance of Admin People need to feel they have some autonomy of their workplace eg. the signs in Grattan Street which people put up without needing permission. Every clerical and admin staff can hear the patients who come into Grattan Street so they understand that they are not a piece of paper or a number. Further away people are from the person they provide the worse the service provision. Service lives and dies on its administrative staff. When admin staff goes on holidays the clinical staff are bereft! Importance of admin staff even though their role can be minimised. But in Grattan Street there is a good balance. St Mary’s may be isolated in separate rooms. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.31.31- 1.33.02 </td> <td> What Makes Good Admin Support? Patience. Being able to spin so many plates. First point of contact for people who use the service. People who understand that it’s really important. Although HSE gets a bad reputation every admin staff has been helpful and gone above and beyond. Celine in Grattan Street is very patient. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.33.02- 1.35.14 </td> <td> Patient Expectations of St Mary’s Big scary, bewildering building. Hope that people will be made to feel welcome. Scale of foyer area is colossal and may be overwhelming. Community should have some autonomy over the building in the same way the staff should. Comfortable seats and accessible baby changing facilities may be enough to make people feel welcome. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.35.14-1.38.08 </td> <td> Centralised Canteen Would like to see centralised canteen for the staff with access to healthy food. Small things become important. Easy to walk around and access healthy food. Sense that the community can use the space- not much green space on the northside. Chance to look at a different model of healthcare. Moaning is easy and can create a toxic culture if things never change. Small kitchen room on St Mary’s health campus. St Finbarr’s has a centralised canteen but CUH doesn’t. Give people healthy options on site. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.38.08-1.40.43 </td> <td> Community connection with Grattan Street more generally Edith has little interaction with Middle Parish community. Sees people coming and going from Middle Parish Community Centre and from the SHARE Centre, may help them across the road. Very little interaction which she finds quite sad. Would know some of the support workers in Edel House through working with them and phone calls. Reality of life is everyone is very busy. No funding for other community outreach projects. May run ante-natal classes in Grattan Street which would be good. The more engaged the community can be with the building the more likely they will be to turn up to their GP appointment or diabetic nurse appointment. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.40.43-1.43.40 </td> <td> Reflection choosing Medicine Would not want any of her children to do medicine. Comes at a big cost. Have to work 90 hour weeks and tell mother that their babies had died while her friends were traveling and going to parties. Have to go through hard parts of job to get to a role that you like. Came first in paediatrics in UCC please don’t tell Prof Carney/Kearney that she only went to about 2 paeds lectures! But spent a lot of time in the wards. Children are direct and Edith likes that.

Describes attending school in cold substandard buildings. Preferred self-directed learning to rote memorizing. Her love of nature and science was evident early and evolved into her passion to follow medicine as a vocation and career, despite the opposition of her parents and GP who feared it would be a hard life especially for a woman. Reflects on the deficiencies of medical training in University College Cork, especially the deliberate use of fear and humiliation in teaching which has left a negative mark on her and other colleagues. Suggests that the need to imprint so much information through humiliation is no longer necessary due to improvements in technology. Outlines her career path through various roles, experiences and responsibilities including working in Accident and Emergency and time in New Zealand. Discusses her impressions of Grattan Street Medical Centre both as a physical building with leaks and in disrepair and as a unique workplace with a community of multiple disciplines which function well together. Speaks about her current work as an Area Medical Officer, the kind of patients she sees and typical issues that arise including developmental checks on babies and following up with parents. Reflects on attitudes towards medicine and the HSE especially among parents, and how as a doctor she has to deal with this in order to achieve best outcomes for child patients. Outlines the problems with Grattan Street staff car parking and the issues it cause. Talks about the outlines of the history she has gleaned about Grattan Street Medical Centre Building as a Quaker Meeting House and as a public dispensary. Speaks of the marriage registry office which is part of the Grattan Street building, where weddings happen during her work day creating a strange but joyous contrast. Discusses the amount of paperwork and documentation required for all the work in Grattan Street that remains from past decades which fascinates her. Reflects on her hopes and the possible futures for the Grattan Street Medical Centre building, and the fate of services that will move to St. Mary’s Primary Care Centre in Gurranabraher. Compares the two locations and emphasizes the importance of a good workplace culture within a building. Talks about possible patient attitudes to the new building. Hopes it will have a communal staff canteen. Outlines the importance of administration staff in contributing to positive experiences for patients and facilitating the efficient work clinical staff. Reflects on the difficulties of a medical career including 90 hour weeks, missing out on parties and travelling, and having to tell mothers that their babies have died.

Title A name given to the resource LGBT Collection Subject The topic of the resource Stories and memories of LGBT life in Cork City and County. Description An account of the resource The LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) collection was launched and created in August 2014 by Stephen Dee and Dermot Casey, researchers at the Cork Folklore Project. The Project was established to record and preserve stories and memories of LGBT life in Cork City and County, with a focus prior to decriminalization in 1993 but also to document the important achievements and struggles that contributed to a society that today is far more accepting of LGBT people. This is proven today with the legalisation of same sex marriage through popular vote and the increased visibility of LGBT people in all areas of public life. The collection’s aims are to explore three main aspects: ‘Personal Recollections’ including but not limited to identity, coming out and experiences of homophobia; ‘Community Stories’ based on certain areas, streets, and forms of social interaction within the LGBT community; and ‘Political Movements’, chronicling political events, motivations and outcomes such as the creation of the Cork-based Irish Gay Rights Movement in 1976, Cork Gay Collective in 1980, and UCC Gay Soc in 1980. Each interview we conducted was unique with each interviewee covering some or all of these topics and with some areas being explored in depth. We hope the material can complement LGBT research in Ireland and also stimulate further interest amongst the public in LGBT history. To date we have distributed some of this material to the public with an audio visual presentation on YouTube and in 2016 in conjunction with Cork City Partnership for LGBT Awareness week we produced a public exhibition of our sound excerpts at Cork City Library. Special thanks to all our interviewees and also to Alvina Cassidy whose research also features in this collection. This LGBT collection of interviews is stored within the Cork Folklore Project permanent oral history archive run in conjunction with UCC’s Folklore and Ethnology Department and Northside Community Enterprises, with both a physical and digital presence. As with all our material, access to full interviews is supervised through a variety of permissions and forms.

Yeah, 71’ or ‘73 I forget what year. I have always been interested that we should always keep cutting out everything. I mean I worked in RTE and I was in the film Department and when we would be going out on the road I was well known going into the van with the Irish Times, the Irish Press, the Irish Independent as I went through all the papers, cutting everything out, cutting them perfect, putting the date on, and it went into the Archive of the Irish Gay Rights movement at that time, and I kept an interest in Archives and I mean I did a film about the Irish gay people because I felt it was very important, it shouldn’t be lost and about two and a half three years ago I thought, would you get and interview people about there story what it was like, growing up as being gay and lesbian, I mean at the time, we found that the gay movement, we were all known as homosexual people. There was no, there might have been lesbians we didn’t know about transgender and we didn’t know what the word gay was except having a great time on Gay Byrne, people like that, and it just, it is the sort of thing, I have always been interested, that we should always have information and it is the same way even today, when I have my coffee and everything else in the Irish Film Centre, I always sit at table thirteen, and people say why table thirteen? I say it is the best seat to see everyone that comes in for coffee, so you don’t miss anyone that you may have known or didn’t know. So I have been always interested in gathering up information because I think the more information we have, the easier it is to tell a story. DC And throughout your years in RTE, did you always, did you feel like you were going to do something like this later. EL Yeah, I mean RTE wasn’t a gay area as it may be now, a lot of gay people, the only time it was gay it was at Christmas, when the lights were turned on, in the whole complex, you know, outside and everything else. I, I came out as being gay in RTE I didn’t care, and I always learned that word, F off which was really good, you could say it nicely and you could say it hard, but I didn’t put up with people who were anti-gay, a lot of people might have been anti because they didn’t know what gay was. And I was a, when RTE did programmes about like Cathal O’Shannon and things like that, I knew about it, they would ask me about certain things. Because people made them, oh this is a new story lets get out and be the first ones with it, but RTE wasn’t a pro-gay, but it wasn’t anti. SD Right. Can you tell us about your vision for your project, what is your end result? EL My end result of this project is, that our history isn’t forgotten, that it has been available to everyone, especially for the thousands of young, gay and lesbian and transgender people coming on, that they will know something of their history their story, because their story has been told by people, it has not being told by me, I am just acting as the, I won’t say a judicator because I am not going to be judicate, I’m a facilitator I think would be a better word of getting people telling the story I may, bring them in a certain direction, to make sure that they haven’t forgotten something, you know, which is important like. I interviewed someone recently and I was out, at the GALA Awards did someone mention did so and so mention about, when I person died from an AIDS-related disease, the undertakers wouldn’t take the body, they had to prepare it, so there was a group of people in Dublin who were preparing peoples bodies for, for burial, I didn’t know about my in Dublin, I was in the middle of a lot of things, but I didn’t know about that, but that sort of story, and I also talking to people, who talk about their children that they have adopted and so forth, and I, you know I have learnt a lot of thing. A lot of single older gay men, may not have known that they were gay, but they were the one people that were left at home to mind there mothers to look after them in old age, and people tend to forget that, and they also tend to forget the amount of good work, be the people that have been priests, pastors, have have, done. But there are stories that I am getting out of people but it is in their words and of course before I interview anybody, they have to sign a release form, and maybe doing everything on television but that is so I can get the transcript, the transcriptions done but it also means that it can be made into programmes but only with their permission but if they decide, they do not want it to be transmitted and that, that doesn’t, it doesn’t get done. And it is going to a University, University of Galway and it will be available to everyone, it is not going into the National Archives because I regard it as a black hole of Calcutta. SD Okay DC Okay. SD And can you tell us so a little bit about the book that you plan from your Irish LGBT History Project? EL I have been in touch with the History book of Ireland and they are willing to publish it. They have been talking about cutting it back and I have, and still say no. I am a person that, I think it needs to be bigger. I think I showed you the size, I think the book can be done so I can everything in, but every person I have interviewed, I have all passed it over too, a friend of mine who is a barrister and every interview has been checked, for example, anyone a promise have been named, their name has been changed, unless you give permission for the name to be left in it or they have died because I can’t be sued if they die. SD Right, and the format that the book will take, is it going to contain direct transcripts or are you going to break everything down into themes or? EL It maybe still open, it may be down to themes and then again it may not. I am one of these people, an ex-television person, you don’t make up your mind till nearer the time, and I think there would be a mixture of both. SD Okay, can you talk to us a little bit about the documentary that you directed, did anyone notice us? EL Well I am happy to say, it was shown down here at the Cork Film Festival and it was a surprise to me that I won, I didn’t realise that, I came up with the idea, in RTE, went to Cathal Cohen who was, he wasn’t director general then, no he was head of programmes and I said Cathal, I would like to do it, you know and I said not for the organisation, can I have the use of all, all the footage, and it was forty thousand pounds worth of stuff, he said, go on, it wasn’t costing them money and so I got it all. And I knew what was in the library, that was a good thing about it and then I sat down to write a story and decided what was the best way to do it, and I thought that some classic stuff and I thought that Gay Byrne was so good, when the woman who was talking to, when she was talking about the inserter and the insertee, you know, and it’s a film that is available to everyone but someone without my permission put it on Youtube and I haven’t had, I didn’t bother take it down. I didn’t mind but I think it is important for people to have it. SD Right and the dates of that documentary go from 1973 to 1993? EL That’s when the law, we were all marching up after the law was changed. SD Why 1973, is that our earliest RTE records of that. EL It was the earliest that RTE would have, I think it was the first one they did, was The Late Late Show, with Rose Robertson, which unfortunately was wiped, and you know that was the time they were doing it, you know that was the time they were doing it that, I think the only thing was, was a piece on the radio, done by Líam Nolan talking to two gay people at the start of the first gay conference. DC And that was in 73? EL Yeah, which I was one of the people organising it. But I mean the Late Late Show, I asked Gay Byrne would he agree to have Rose Robertson on and talk about the, yeah, I said would you pay here fare over you know and the hotel, as you would with your guests, yes I would do all that.

Title A name given to the resource Stonemason Oral History Project Subject The topic of the resource Life History; Occupational Lore; Trades; Description An account of the resource This collection consists of 14 interviews with 12 people (11 male stonemasons and one female family member). It was carried out between November 2015 and April 2017 and documents the experiences of stonemasons based in Cork throughout the twentieth century. The interviews were carried out by CFP Researcher Michael Moore, himself a qualified stonemason. The collection explores the occupational and social context of stonemasonry; work practices, the social context, occupational lore, the secret language Bearlager na Saor and family ties. Most of the interviews are focused on the mid to late twentieth century with some stories and histories dating back to the eighteenth century This project’s second interviewee, Jim Fahy of the Cork Mason’s Historical Society, was inspired to include an oral history element to his ongoing research and documentation of stonemasonry, and this material is being accessioned to the CFP. Michael Moore characterized the project as an attempt to capture a snapshot of the lives and voices of stonemasons and ‘to record their insular world for posterity’, pointing out that ‘There is a need to document the living tradition of stonemasonry by recording people who work or have worked in masonry, particularly those born into it as part of familial ties.’ (Moore, 2016: 8).

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).

Title A name given to the resource If the Walls Could Talk: Stories of Cork's Built Heritage (2013) Subject The topic of the resource Built Heritage: Description An account of the resource In 2013, the Cork Folklore Project was commissioned by Cork City Council as part of Cork Heritage Open Day to create a film exploring the relationship between some of Cork's most historic buildings and the people who use them. The project carried out a series of interviews with local historians, people associated with the buildings, and Cork residents (the interviews in this collection were carried out by Mark Wilkins), and drew on existing audio and video interviews. Interviews in this collection featured in the DVD discuss the Trinity Presbyterian Church, the National Sculpture Factory, the Custom House/Port of Cork, the Pavilion, the Masonic Hall, Triskel/Christchurch, Cork Vision Centre, South Presentation Convent, Elizabeth Fort, St. Fin Barre's Cathedral, UCC Crawford Observatory and Blackrock Castle Observatory. The overall built heritage project was continued throughout 2013 and 2014 in order to create an interview collection and DVD on the other buildings featured in Cork Heritage Open Day. Interviews about UCC Boole Library and Cork City Opera House, which were not featured in the first DVD, form part of this collection. The DVD was edited by Ian Stephenson, and featured music by Mark Wilkins and photography by Gráinne McGee. The project was co-ordinated by Mary O’Driscoll. The film contributed to Cork City Council’s Cork Heritage Open day, winning the Irish Heritage Council Heritage Week 2013 Award for the Best Interactive Event. A second DVD was produced by the Cork Folklore Project in 2015, drawing on further interviews carried out by Mark Wilkins, entitled If the Stones Could Speak. Support: this project was part-funded by Cork City Council.

And of course then like the old home, like, they believe in this month like, the Snap-Apple there, the Samhain, that the Almighty gives permission to the people to come to their house, that are gone. To visit their house that night. And again, like, some of the older women would light a plum candle, that night, and clean it, and have the house nice and clean. And there was no fear. I mean there wouldn’t be fear of anything like it was just done. S.H: Yeah. On the All Saints’ Eve, 31st of October? E. dB: Yeah. The candle would be lit, by them. S. H: What was the common name in Cork for that eve, was it All Saints’ Eve, or Hallowe’en or Snap-Apple Night? E. dB: Snap-Apple Night, sure when we were children it would be Snap-Apple Night, you know? S.H: There seems to have been some confusion. You know how All Souls’ Day is the 2nd of November, the feast following All Saints’. But in earlier times people sometimes referred to Hallowe’en as All Souls’ Night, is that right? E. dB: Well that only came with Christianity. The Church like were kind of crabbid like that, and you see, pre-Christian it was a big, big, big ceremony, with you know different things all the, you must remember, the apples are in, the harvest is in, the men are coming in, they won’t have to watch the shores for the Vikings with the storms and things, and you see like it was a big huge thing. But like the Church, they didn’t take it from us, the little magic. But they had to put “All Saints’ ” and they had to put “All Souls’ ” in it to diminish it a bit because you know, what we believed is, you know is, to hold us, to bring us into a different belief. So that would have been that. S. H: Yes. Did you ever hear it referred to as “All Souls’ Eve,” as well? E. dB: I did. Oh yes, “All Souls’, ” oh yeah? S. H: And people would know that you were meaning the 31st. of October, rather than the 1st of November? E. dB: Oh, they would, sure that’s the night, long ago then, we’d have to try and be home before 12 o’clock, we’d be frightened, you know now. You wouldn’t be out that night late. You see, on the streets. S. H: And did you hear of people making visits to graveyards around that time, pray for deceased relatives? E. dB: Oh, I did of course. There is an indulgence now, they say like, you know. I’ve been out now in Douglas there in the graveyard last week, I was doing a bit of work, and I be going around to Saint Finbarr's now, doing a little bit of work this week, please God, and I’ll call into Saint Finbarr's, we’re supposed, you know, to remember him and pray for him and they say like, you know, that time you could get out very easy, out of you know, if you were down, paying for your little wrongs, you could, you know, get a small bit... S. H: Yeah, a discount. E. dB: Yeah, it was a grand bit, yeah, that’s the idea, sure that’s what’s lovely. Indulgence. No fear or nothing, but, a thinking of those that are gone.

Title A name given to the resource Eibhlís de Barra: Northside, Gender, Childhood Games Subject The topic of the resource Life History; Description An account of the resource Eibhlís was born on the Southside of Cork. Her husband was from Blarney Street, on the Northside. She recalls childhood games such as The Chaineys, and The Gobs, and Scaa, the latter two played with small stones. She quotes some of the skipping rhymes and remembers the rope games. Eibhlís comments on the value of the Irish language, and on English as spoken in Cork. She talks about home births, and about the process of dying at home, comparing it to sanitised hospital scenarios. Traditions of All Souls and All Saints Day. After marriage, it was traditional for the woman to live near her mother and grandmother; for the man to move to her area. She recalls the important role of women in families; men were left to their hobbies and remained peripheral. She talks about the importance of storytelling and tells a story about a clever man making a wish with a fairy. She muses on Irish history and concludes that the rich always betray the poor. She tells a story about two Scottish men who died fighting for Ireland at different times, one being ‘Colkitto’ [also known as Alasdair Mac Colla (d.1647)]. Eibhlís remembers Mardyke in her youth, says it was better then. There was a men’s part to the area, where men gathered to play cards. She talks about the rivalry between Northside and Southside and the sometimes violent rivalry between GAA clubs Barrs and The Glen (St Finbarr’s and Glen Rovers). There was a shop in Barrack Street where women could leave their children while they went to work. She describes people from the Northside as a distinct people, who were rogues but could be very nice. She speaks about the War Of Independence and Black And Tans drunken rampages during the curfews. She speaks of two brothers who were on opposite sides during the Irish Civil War where one shot the other.

Title A name given to the resource Cork 2005 Project Subject The topic of the resource Interviewing and radio project exploring migration, cultural contact and the social and physical landscape of Cork City in 2004 and 2005 and in the past, comprising of forty audio interviews and resulting in six half-hour radio programmes and a book. Description An account of the resource The Cork 2005 Project was carried out and funded as part of Cork’s tenure as European Capital of Culture in 2005. Building on the theme ‘City of Culture’, the project explored the questions: ‘What is the everyday culture of Cork City?’ and ‘Who are the people of the city?’, and aimed to broaden our archival holdings to reflect the increased numbers of migrants making their home in the city. 37 ethnographic interviews were carried out with Cork residents, more than two-thirds of whom had come to Cork from elsewhere, exploring their relationship with the cultural and social landscape of the city. The interviews include accounts of family life and growing up in Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, China, England, Germany, India, Iraq, Israel, Kurdistan, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Poland, Slovakia, South Africa Ukraine, and the United States. A six-part radio series, entitled ‘How’s it goin’, boy?’ was broadcast on Cork Campus Radio in 2005, and a book of the same name was published in 2006. You can listen to the radio programmes on our website: How's it goin', boy? Radio Series. The interviews in this collection all have a similar structure. We asked all interviewees to describe their childhood neighbourhoods and communities and to discuss their relationship with Cork city in the present day. We also discussed experiences of migrancy, first impressions and cultural contact with those who had come to Cork from elsewhere and with Corkonians who had experience of migration. Interviewees came from diverse areas including Australia, the Marsh, Nigeria, Brittany, Gurranabraher, Russia, Evergreen Street, Spain, Poland and Kurdish Iraq. The collection project was carried out from March 2004 – June 2005.

Title A name given to the resource The Cork Memory Map Collection Subject The topic of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. Description An account of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. In 2010, the Cork Folklore Project initiated a new collection and dissemination project, entitled the Cork Memory Map. We wished to step up our interviewing programme and enhance public access to our holdings through the creation of an online map of stories and memories. A central concern in this initial stage was to keep our research agenda as open as possible in terms of generating accounts of everyday life in the city down through the years. As we were not carrying out topic-focussed interviews (in contrast to previous projects on topics such as song in the Northside, drag hunting and occupational lore), the place-based focus enabled us to explore everyday life at different stages of interviewees’ life histories, remaining open to cues from the interviewees while maintaining a sense of direction and purpose for all involved. The fact that the interviews were structured around memories of place, rather than taking the form of life history interviews, also had an impact on the material gathered. The initial phase of interviewing was carried out in the main with older residents of Cork City, Ireland, who grew up in the city centre or adjacent suburbs and who were born between 1929 and 1950. Lasting between 45 minutes and two hours, individual interviews in the Memory Map project tend to follow a similar pattern. A description of the interviewee’s childhood neighbourhood is followed by a succession of ‘grand tour’ questions about daily routines, work and play within the neighbourhood. Places important or familiar to interviewees were explored, as were routes habitually taken through the landscape. This narrative base was used as a springboard for using cues provided by the interviewees as the basis for follow-up questions on significant people and activities mentioned. A sub-collection of shorter interviews was generated during Heritage Week (20-28 August) 2011. The Cork Folklore Project, in collaboration with Civic Trust House, launched the Memory Map Project with an exhibition and collection event throughout the week. Visitors to the exhibition were invited to ‘put themselves on the map’ through short interviews. The Memory Map also featured in a ten-minute Curious Ear documentary broadcast on RTÉ Radio 1 during Heritage Week, and available as a podcast (The Curious Ear/Documentary on One (Cork City Memory Map) http://www.rte.ie/radio1/doconone/2011/0816/646858-curious-ear-doconone-cork-city-memory-map/). The bulk of the interviews were carried out between July and December 2010 (21 interviews), with 9 full-length interviews carried out in the second half of 2011, along with 18 shorter interviews carried out during heritage week, 23-27 August 2011, and 9 interviews in the second half of 2012. 1 video interview was carried out in January 2014 with Memory Map interviewee Pat Speight. The design for the map and supporting database design was carried out by Cheryl Donaghue (UCC) as project work for an MSc in Interactive Media, with assistance from Colin Mac Hale. The Project received support for the further technical development of the map from the Irish Heritage Council in 2012. The map itself has undergone various iterations, the most recent being its preparation for use on the Omeka platform by the CFP team and PhD candidate Penny Johnston in 2016/2017. Existing and subsequent interviews from the CFP collections have also been utilised for the online mapping dissemination project: the interviews designated as ‘memory map’ interviews are those carried out specifically with the map in mind from 2010 onwards. Support: This project was supported by the Heritage Council of Ireland in the Heritage Education Community and Outreach grant scheme, 2012, and also received support from the Cork City Council Community Grants Scheme.

Now I was born in ’31 and we’ll say that was all through the thirties now. The war started in ’39 and things were very bad, we were very poor like, but we didn’t know it. I mean in relative to today now we were very poor but ya see everybody was the same, so you didn’t realise you were poor. ’Tis only if you -- by comparison, that you realise you’re poor. If everybody is the same it doesn’t make any difference ya see. But the war came then and shortages like I mean, the rationing and everything and I was only thinking there now last week something struck me. Em, I love, I’d love now a heel of bread, a crusty heel of a skull and put loads of butter on it. And I did that last week and I was there on me own and I had a grand crusty heel and I was -- and I just thought, I remember, going back now, I’m going back to the time of the war. We had only an ounce, two ounces of butter or something that’s all you’d get. And I loved butter and I hated margarine. Couldn’t oh, I couldn’t stick the taste of the margarine. My mother used to scrape the margarine on the bread the way that I wouldn’t get the taste of it but I could taste it like. And em, I remember one time she was so mad at me now giving out about the margarine she gave me me own two ounces of butter for to manage meself for the week. Ya see she cut a bit of butter and she gave it to me on the small plate and she said, ‘There now,’ she said. ‘Eat that now or you can, you can eat it all today but you’ll have nothing for the week.’ And I got the butter anyway and I was being very careful and next thing now like that I got a heel and I decided put it, what I had left on top of the heel. And I sat down and ate it and me mother totally told my father and all when he came in from work, ‘Never believe what she’s after doing. The only bit of butter she have left for the week she’s after eating it on a crust of bread.’ So that was like, but I enjoyed it and I loved it d’ya know now what I? Now I didn’t do it anymore because I found having margarine for the rest of the week wasn’t great like but I enjoyed it. But isn’t it funny how things would remind ya? Last week now that reminded me of -- you know? Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Eileen Jones: Blackpool, Shawlies, Sunbeam, Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Description An account of the resource Eileen Jones (b. 1931) was born in Millfield Cottages. When she was 4 years old her family moved to Welsh’s Lane in Blackpool; members of her extended family lived nearby. Her mother was born in 1896. Her father was a builder’s labourer. There was no secondary school in Blackpool, but some students could stay on in primary school. She left at 14. She praised a teacher, Miss Hourigan, who gave the class a love of the ritual of the mass, and of basic maths and arithmetic, which stood to them in later life. Eileen worked in the Sunbeam factory, and in Cork Spinning Company. She later got a job in Roches Stores, and she tells the story of how she came to get chosen for the job. She talks in detail about the neighbourhood of Welsh’s Lane; how visiting strangers were quizzed. Children played out all day, their meals served according to the time kept by a local factory siren. She recalls some of the words of the rhymes they sang while skipping. She lists the names of the lanes she knew in her youth. Mentions that Kilcully graveyard had a lot of Traveller graves [Interviewee calls the Travellers ‘gypsies’] She remembers the names of local shops; and The Co-Op where you earned stamps to exchange for goods. She talks about a savings bank in St Mary’s Hall; it was a shilling to join. Eileen remembers the clothes women wore before the war: shawls, kitchen aprons, petticoats. Her grandmother wore a black shawl; Traveller women wore fawn and brown plaid shawls. She tells a story about a woman who collected shawls from the deceased when they were laid out. When she was born she was not expected to live and was taken close care of. She tells the story of her being christened with a name chosen by the priest. She worked in the Sunbeam factory. Her supervisor lead prayers during the day. She didn’t like the portrayal of the workers in “The Sunbeam Girls”. The women workers sang as they worked. Eileen also recalls bonfire night, drinking ‘razza’ and listening to people singing. Workers could go for baths in the Sunbeam factory; few people had baths in their houses.

Title A name given to the resource Grattan Street Stories: Memory of Place Subject The topic of the resource Occupational Lore; Life History; Built Heritage; Health; Ireland; Cork; Middle Parish Description An account of the resource This collection focuses on a building on Grattan Street which has served as a Quaker Meeting House, a public Dispensary and as the Grattan Street Health Centre. The project was a collaboration between the CFP and the Cork North Community Work Department, Cork Kerry Community Healthcare, Health Services Executive HSE. The interviewees fall into two main groups: those who worked in the building and those who lived in the surrounding area and availed of the services provided in the building. This project follows on from the collaboration with the HSE in the “<a href="https://corkfolklore.org/archivecatalolgue/collections/show/10" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HSE Orthopaedic Hospital Oral History Project (d'Orthopaedic)</a>”. There is a further connection between the two projects as many of the staff and services once provided in the Grattan Street Health Centre have now relocated to St. Mary's Health Campus (St Mary’s Primary Care Centre) Gurranabraher, the former site of the Orthopaedic Hospital. This topic of the relocation of services is also covered in some staff interviews. To date (October 2021) 13 interviews have been completed for the project. Interviewees discuss the Grattan Street building itself in terms of its historic significance, its benefits and drawbacks as a workplace. Broader themes related to or inspired by the building are also touched on including: personal relationship with the building, staff camaraderie, the problems with parking, memorable incidents at work, patient experiences and descriptions of the people and services for which the building catered. Healthcare professional interviewees detail their training, career progression and comparisons between Grattan Street and other workplaces. Their testimonies also provide a link with the community of patients they served giving further insight into attitudes to healthcare, diseases, vaccines, description of social conditions and the changes in medicine and technology in their working lives. Non-healthcare professional interviewees describe childhood experiences in or around Grattan Street (The Marsh or The Middle Parish), the social, cultural and economic conditions of the area, tenements, businesses, attitudes to and experiences of healthcare, vaccines, diseases, medicines and medical professionals as well as observed changes in these areas over time. Interviewees also reflect on the possible future uses of the Grattan Street building. Related Reference Sources <ul> <li>Barrington, R. (1987) Health, medicine and politics in Ireland, 1900–1970.

Covers the nursing staff for the City North-West area population 27,000. 10 area PHNs [Public Health Nurses] community RGN teams (Registered General Nurse). Eileen is PHN, RGN and registered mid-wife. You have to be an RGN to become a PHN. Worked as an RGN first in the community in North Cork prior Grattan Street. Then did PHN course in Dublin UCD (University College Dublin). Returned to Grattan Street, work as PHN on the ground, in schools, preschools, inspecting in nursing homes, assistant director of PHN since 2009. She was in two other sectors before that. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.02.04 - 0.04.21 </td> <td> Childhood in Waterford Born a long time ago! In Tallow west Waterford. From family of 7, has an older brother and four younger brothers and one younger sister. Father was a butcher, family business. Went to school in Tallow, then Loreto in Fermoy and then to the Mercy Hospital and did RGN training, then Dublin to Hollis Street for midwifery training. [Eileen’s phone rings but she mutes or turns it off and continues the interview] There were about four butchers in Tallow but now only a Supervalu. She remembers her dad singing and whistling below in the shop when she was in bed in the morning. He and his father were good singers and whistlers. Remembers sawdust in the shop and it going all over the house. Father and mother going to the marts getting sheep and animals coming to the back yard and into the slaughter house. Grew up with it so didn’t see anything unusual in it. Good happy childhood. Brothers and her all involved in sport. She and parents played tennis. “We were brought up in a tennis court” played some hockey in school. Lots of sports, golf as well. But now doesn’t have time with work. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.04.21 - 0.06.36 </td> <td> House at Home Growing up Two storey house on the street. Shop was attached to it. Downstairs there was a living room, a kitchen and a back kitchen and a room off the shop and four bedrooms upstairs and a bathroom, a big garden, a shed and a slaughter house. Grew up as an only girl, her sister is 14 years younger. She had gone to boarding school/secondary school by the time she was born. Had lots of friends in Tallow, still has them, still keep in touch. Did a lot of work in the house, as she tells her mother who’s now 92. They were all given jobs to do. She had to hoover the sawdust. She was involved in the weekly bath for her brothers, making sure their shoes were polished every Saturday evening. Thinks that today it is different, perhaps because of parenting. Dad died 10 years ago suddenly from a heart attack which she says was lovely for him. Siblings all alive, one in England. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.06.36 - 0.10.57 </td> <td> Produce in the Butchers Drisheen, Tripe, Black Pudding. And the making of them. Meat was sold in the butchers and some onions. Mother made drisheen and black pudding every Thursday to be ready for Friday and Saturday. Sometimes she would get some tripe from the market in Cork and it would be sold in their shop. They didn’t make the tripe themselves but they did the drisheen and black puddings using the serum. Serum from the blood and milk and pepper was used in it. It is supposedly good for you. And they ate that every Saturday night on top of sausages and rashers and they keep that tradition going but without the drisheen. Very mild flavour. It’s the frying that gives it a flavour. Maybe someone who wasn’t used to it might find a stronger flavour. Doesn’t remember the flavour of any herbs. It was a light grey colour in comparison to black pudding. Possibly some kind of sausage meat added to the black pudding. There was a machine where it would come from. Serum is separation from the blood when it is allowed to settle and there is a strainer. You use what floats to the top and discard the rest. Father and sister loved tripe but Eileen never “acquired the flavour for tripe” served “with boiled onions and milk”. Eileen doesn’t remember the butcher shop selling pork. But she thinks she might be wrong about that because her father kept a pig and he won a trophy for his prize pig when Eileen was about 7. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.10.57 - 0.15.09 </td> <td> School, Corporal Punishment, going home for Dinner School in convent in Tallow. Carmelites enclosed order still in Tallow, they didn’t teach but it was in their area. Boys had a separate school at the time but now it is co-ed: boys and girls. Enjoyed school. Reasonably well-behaved because terrified. Teachers could slap you, corporal punishment. Eileen didn’t get slapped often because she was a good girl. Remembers a small ‘roundy’ stick which would be used to hit children around the knuckles. Some teachers had less patience than others and found it difficult but the students didn’t understand that. She is glad corporal punishment is gone because it lowered self-esteem, and put you at a disadvantage. It wasn’t just the slap, it was that someone had carried it out on you. You felt brutalised. It was very common, right up to the time her children were in primary school, some of the teachers at the ends of their careers there had a reputation for corporal punishment. Would get a slap if they thought you weren’t paying attention or if you were talking to someone. Spoke about corporal punishment with her friends subsequently. And she discovered terrible things that happened to people which she wasn’t aware about at the time. Slaps across the face, pulling of ears, hit on the head. “You were an easy target. They had the power.” It was difficult. She thinks that if you were involved in sport you were treated a bit differently, though not if you were academic. They had outside toilets in primary school- “leaves and cold and wet”. Was able to go home at lunchtime and have dinner. “My wonderful mother had my dinner ready every day. For the nine of us.” </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.15.09 - 0.15.48 </td> <td> Dinner and Types of Foods For dinner they would meat that hadn’t been sold in the butcher’s shop. They might have steak for a treat on Thursday night but usually more reasonable cuts of beef and lamb. Always meat, vegetable and potatoes. Mother was a great cook and baker so they always had something sweet to eat as well. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.15.48 - 0.19.01 </td> <td> Secondary School Boarding School Boarded in Loreto Fermoy, her brothers went to De la Salle in Waterford. Her parents worked hard to get them that education. Her mother had boarded but her father had left school early. Some of her friends from home went to Loreto as well and she also made new friends there. There for 5 years. Happy enough time. Initially allowed home every third weekend, eventually allowed home every weekend. As an only girl it was good to be around female company, she thinks she would have just been bossing the boys around at home. First impression was of the structure of the place: all your recreation time was spent in the one place. And you were there with your class, it was all set out for you and you had to fall into line. “I wasn’t unhappy there.” Calls by day, hockey in afternoon- sometimes go to Cork for a match. Every Saturday they were not at home they went for walks, they walked through the town, on parade in their uniforms. Had music at night in the social room listening to records. Abiding memory is of seeing Dana winning the Eurovision. Maybe she saw something about Bloody Sunday as well.” </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.19.01 - 0.20.36 </td> <td> Career Choice. Nursing. Mother’s education. Role of Religion. Mercy Hospital “For some reason I always had nursing in my head.” Maybe because her mother said she would have done nursing if she could- she had left school after her Junior Cert and did a year in a technical school where she got her baking skills. Mom was a great worker so thinks she would have made a great matron rather than a nurse because she would have wanted everything done properly. Eileen says she may have some of those traits herself. After Eileen’s training when she went into the hospital she felt claustrophobic “for some reason it didn’t sit well on me.” She did 3 years in the Mercy. There were nuns there at the time: “Great fun, hard work.” </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.20.36 - 0.22.07 </td> <td> Role of religion in the Mercy Hospital. The rosary was said every night on the wards. Had to go down on your knees at 6 o’clock and shout out the decades of the rosary. Biggest thing was that they had to know the joyful, glorious and sorrowful mysteries. They went to mass every morning around 7am when they stayed in the nurses home for the first year and a half. Nuns were strict. She was only 17 when she was there so she thinks it might have been good. She didn’t regret doing nursing but she didn’t take it too seriously either. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.22.07 - 0.23.18 </td> <td> Nursing Training in Mercy Hospital Three years training but only got a certificate. Learned anatomy, physiology and putting it into practice and managing patients/clients, eventually managing a ward. Managing night-time with patients coming in. managing a children’s ward. Dealing with everything: clinical care, surgery, people dying. Children dying. Recalls children dying in St. Anne’s Ward that will never leave me. Delighted to see the Mercy is busy and expanding. She has fond memories of it. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.23.18 - 0.26.55 </td> <td> Route to PHN and Grattan Street Did a little bit of work there wasn’t much work for qualified nurses at the time. Went to Fermoy Hospital, a community hospital. Worked there for a few months. Went to Hollis Street and spent a year there- very interesting. Opening into a different experience in the capital. She was madly in love at the time came home frequently. Eventually went back to Fermoy Hospital and got married at 23 in June, and by October of the following year she had her first son and so gave up nursing. Husband was self-employed and was often away and she felt one of them needed to be there they had three children. When the children got older she decided to do a course in fitness and taught exercise classes for 8 years. She had tried to get into PHN but hadn’t enough experience. She met a friend in Fermoy in 1998 and she said why not go into the community they are looking for RGNs in North Cork. She applied, got it and then “got the bug for the community” and applied twice to UCC for PHN course and they didn’t think she was suitable. She was accepted in Dublin and found it challenging. She was 47 at the time. She was up there for three week period. She came home every weekend. She came home on placement for a two week period placed in North Cork. That’s how it operated for the academic year. it was manageable and she had always wanted to do it. She was going back into a group of nurses who had been working, who knew everything, who knew computers and Eileen could barely send a text message on a phone. She was accomplished at essays by the time she was finished. She entered Grattan Street 2002. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.26.55 - 0.28.25 </td> <td> Public Health Nursing Eileen enjoyed the freedom of PHN, didn’t like the constraints of the hospital and the regimental nature of it. PHN suited her. Liked going into clients’ homes and fitting in with them rather than them fitting into a structure in a hospital. She wonders about the broad, complex, extended and manic nature of what is being attempted in the community now. She hasn’t been out working in 2009 but she has been working managing staff inside and supporting them in client management. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.28.25 - 0.33.06 </td> <td> Role of Public Health Nurse Looking after clients from the ante-natal (pregnancy period) to the end of life care. Anything and everything in between that. A huge sphere. Looking after mums to be, babies, mums after birth, young children, acute discharges who need support around wound care, clients with mental health, addictions, disabilities, older adults, dying and palliative care. Thinks it’s now too broad now because the type of discharges are very complex, almost providing a hospital type care within the community. Sláinte Care- clients being discharged into the community. Eileen doesn’t think this can happen until they had sufficient resources to match the numbers being discharged to them, she needs an increased budget. City north west is an area of great disadvantage there are 20 DEDs (Electoral Divisions) in it 15 of which are designated as disadvantaged or very disadvantaged. Lots of complexities around parenting. This leads to children with behavioural issues. Eileen is always advocating for early interventions. Role of PHN was always health promotion and illness prevention. More hands on now doing clinical, assessments, referrals, ordering supplies, reviewing things. So what was formerly the PHN’s main role is no longer their main role. Early intervention is key, it would be very beneficial. In the city northwest area there are many non-statutory bodies area-based childhood programme, (Atlantic Philanthropy was supporting this for a while now it’s Tusla) they support families, parents, teachers, childcare workers increasing capacity around infant mental health. Springboard run by Tusla which support families. “Niche” in Hollyhill a family support agencies, and Barnardos as well. Eileen is involved with all of them in child welfare and protection. Would like to get the issues resolved at child welfare stage. Everyone that comes to work here gets great experience but no one stays for very long. Lost two staff in April. 1.5 staff were on maternity leave and not replaces and another 2 going on maternity leave. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.33.06 - 0.35.30 </td> <td> Turnover of Staff Turnover due to the challenging work. Often chasing people, offering them appointments to bring their children, but they don’t. When you go back they won’t answer the door, or their phone, and change their phone number, or don’t tell you that they’ve moved house. Not all people they deal with are like that but a core group are because they have had no parenting themselves and the cycle continues of disadvantage, poverty, poor education and housing, unemployment. “Entitlement stage” their parents were entitled to everything. In PHN there is no entitlement which they try to get across. Eileen thinks that people born and reared in poverty and with poor parenting have no chance of catching up because they don’t realise the level they are at. Eileen doesn’t know where to break that cycle though she thinks that PHN plays some role. Places in Dublin and Limerick also have areas of disadvantage. Eileen think that sometimes her staff give people what they think the people need but it may not be what they really need and sometimes the staff can’t get that information from people. It’s all about building relationships but it’s hard to build that relationship when people don’t want what you have to offer people. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.35.30 - 0.40.25 </td> <td> Child Development Problems- Multiple Causes, Complex Solutions Should they ensure that all children in primary school are fed? Or is that too late? An infant mental health specialist with young Knocknaheeny area child-based programme 0 to 2 years is pivotal in nurturing and bonding and if it doesn’t happen children end up with low self-esteem or behavioural problems. These become bigger problems later as the children have not developed skills in coping because they haven’t been shown them. And if it’s not there by age two they miss out on a lot. Ante-natal period classes with Young Knocknaheeny to build a relationship with the mothers when they have their babies which they have to see until they are 5. There are a lot of services for people but sometimes they don’t want to be seen as a target for the services, they don’t want to be seen as different. Eileen was initially shocked by that attitude, someone said “another service being thrown at us” and maybe they were saturated with services and it wasn’t something they wanted at all. If Eileen knew how to break that cycle she would patent it. She read an article by someone in charge of Bessborough- how can we expect young mums to parent a child when they were never shown and they had no role model. How to build trust and build a relationship because they can be very wary and distrustful of services. Parents think that if they don’t do what the PHN says or thinks is right that there could be child protection issues involved because this happened a lot in the past and sometimes a child was removed. But for social workers the last resort is to remove a child- the child as almost always better with the parents from their point of view. Eileen thinks that approach is a bit unusual, especially if there is no bond between parents and the child. Sometimes a child is removed for a period of time, and there are health professional meetings, case conferences, families come together and everything is discussed. Sometimes it doesn’t work but you have to try. In those cases there is a health professional meeting or a case conference meeting and the children go into foster care and maybe go back to the parents after a period. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.40.25 - 0.45.40 </td> <td> Social and Medical Issues in North Cork Area Most of the moms are single with different partners for the different children. Housing is an issue, expenses for school, dependence on drugs, alcohol, polypharmacy, mental health, self-neglect. A number of clients are alcoholics who come home and expect the HSE to provide services. They can refer clients to the mental health services but the client has to agree to go. And there is a lot of that. Lots of young people with disabilities which she was surprised at she felt she had been very “sheltered”. When she came from North Lee so many people had disabilities or something wrong with a lot of people. The stats are quite high. North Cork is rural but North Lee is exceptional. One third fit into that category. Mental health and addiction issues are shocking. Grandparents are minding grandchildren because their children aren’t capable. She had no exposure to this until she arrived and so she was unprepared for it. Eileen could retire any time she wants but she likes the work but will retire in a few years. She tries to make a difference. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.45.40 - 0.49.40 </td> <td> Compares Grattan Street to new St Mary’s Primary Care Centre. Car Park issues. Get pleasure from the new building in St Mary’s so different to Grattan Street. When in Grattan Street they loved it and linking in with the team and got stuck in the car park. Eileen had a database with all the cars and numbers and if anyone was in a parking space who wasn’t registered they would get a note on their car. The car park nearly broke their hearts. Eileen was in a 7:20 every morning to get the parking space and would dread having to go anywhere because your space would be gone. When she went there as a novice PHN she didn’t like the outside of the building but once inside she felt comfortable there, and the staff were nice in there. They always knew if someone was sick or had a bereavement. When she left Grattan Street she had a room there but it is now full with other things and incontinence wear. Jokingly blames Sean Higgisson the porter for this. Some of the rooms in Grattan Street are beginning to look neglected and old. Some of the team are not looking forward to moving up to St Mary’s. They are anxious about the move. But many with Eileen were as well before they moved but at least her team are all in the one place now. She feels they are well-settled in St Mary’s now and they like it and she told Sean the porter and Celine in admin this. They’re not really missing Grattan Street. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.49.40 - 0.57.13 </td> <td> Typical Day in Grattan Street and Changes. Hospital Discharges. Arriving in Grattan Street first it was similar to what she had been used to in North Cork. (North Lee is from Youghal to Macroom) Was in Mayfield for a year. Was in Glanmire St Stephen’s for 2 years. 2012-2019 in Grattan Street. A typical day in Grattan Street was getting there early to park the car to be able to get out quickly. When traffic in Grattan Street became one way it really affected staff in Grattan Street- previously they were able to leave and go up Shandon Street but now they have to turn through narrow streets. Doesn’t feel they were told or consulted about that change. After getting their early she went for a walk because initially she didn’t have a key to the health centre. Walk to the quays, North Main Street into St Francis Church to pray for everyone (and for herself not to kill anyone). Back to Grattan Street, Sean would be there, have coffee, reply to emails, manage staff annual leave, sick leave professional development, pre-discharge meetings. She is on various boards and bodies which entailed various meetings. Would go St Finbarr’s [Hospital] head office once a week. Busy. Trying to find solutions to problems. Would think of something in bed at night but forget it by the time morning comes. Sometimes write a note in the phone and go back to sleep. In Grattan Street working with clients, working through correspondence, going to meetings: multi-disciplinary teams with more views, suggestions and options. Could be about a client having issues with self-neglecting, a client who deteriorated and needed extra supports. Mercy today for pre-discharge meeting for a very complicated case coming home. Previously the person had been discharge and within 36 hours he was found on the floor and the door had to be broken down- required the Gardaí, ambulance, nurse and home help. He refused to go to hospital. The following morning he was unwell again and he was sent to hospital. Now they want to send him home again. Many complexities come from not having next of kin and the nurse shouldn’t have to take on that responsibility. Capacity bill. Not always safe discharges. Reiterates connections with Young Knocknaheeny, Niche, Barnardos, Springboard. Try to link in with other groups and social work but feels they need to focus on their own work. Their cases are too big to be involved. Feels pulled and dragged a lot. As a PHN you are a manager of an area of 3,000 population which isn’t huge but the complexities make it hard. In a rural area there might be a population of about 5,000 but they wouldn’t all be active. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.57.13 - 1.01.40 </td> <td> Social Aspect Aoife O’Brien is great to get people together, comes up with idea, advertise, follow up, plan order things, get back to people and doesn’t force people and takes photos. Eileen takes pride in the Christmas party and restarting it. It’s the only time they really had events in Grattan Street. Allows you to have fun, eating and relaxing and speaking about plans. Someone made punch but with the change in driving laws and when that woman left they didn’t have it anymore. Lots of young people in Grattan Street now who go out after work to a bar but Eileen wouldn’t have done that. There was a lot of moving or transferring staff and they would do something for them like a lunch. Mixed well with admin, nursing, podiatry, school nurses, ophthalmology. Everyone knew where everyone was. When they came to St Mary’s first in early February (5th & 6th of February after the nurses strike) they really missed the other teams. Expected the other to follow shortly after but they haven’t. When meeting people in the corridor in St Marys there might not be eye contact and they aren’t used to that coming from St Mary’s. Now they are smiling and saying hello. They are integrating into the new building. When people finally come up from Grattan Street it might be easier for them now that Eileen’s team has managed the transition. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.01.40 - 1.07.10 </td> <td> Everyone loves Grattan Street Some people wanted to leave but only for parking. Grattan Street reversing out and cars double parked on both sides. Saw a lorry bringing in windows for a school extension. People in the school sometimes try to take their spaces. The lorry reversed in- surprised how good a driver he was. Teams close together in Grattan Street but separated now in St Mary’s. Podiatry will come up. Home Support Service is in St Marys. PHN have rooms for clients downstairs. While everyone is in St Mary’s they are separate. They are beginning to get used to all the space. Thinks it’s more productive in St Marys. Sector 4- City Northwest touches on the Mardyke and Western Road a bit but most of it is on the Northside. It made no sense for staff to be based in town and come up to the Northside and then back down. Grattan Street Health Centre is part of Mayfield Sector 3- City North East. So really they were in temporarily lodgings there. In St Mary’s can respond to thinks more quickly, nurses can do their calls more easily. Can’t think of negative things, maybe the room with 20 of the nurses instead of 2 to 5 people. But people are getting used to it. Some health centres have a mix of disciplines but in St Mary’s it’s all nursing which Eileen prefers. Canteen in Grattan Street was homely and functional. But in St Mary’s it’s clinical, not big and equipment is ok but it’s very loud. Eileen goes there when it’s quiet and looks out the window at the trees which has a preservation order on them. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.07.10 - 1.11.08 </td> <td> Interaction with Surrounding Grattan Street Community Fraught interaction with the surrounding area in Grattan Street to do with the car park. There’s 6 parking spaces for anyone. And the ones at the back wall and the other side area for HSE. There might not be enough space for residents. And HSE staff would try to get in early enough for a space. They had a good relationship with the school [Education Together] until they started taking the HSE parking spaces. Sean had a good relationship with the school and the locals because he would have more dealings with them. Only the back door of people’s houses were connected with the car park their front doors faced elsewhere. There was a hall. And the area in which Grattan Street is located isn’t covered by the PHN area that Eileen was in, it was covered by Mayfield. So Eileen feels they were a bit disconnected from the Marsh. Not much interaction with shops. Raised blood pressure due to the car parking and arguments and they nearly shot each other over it! Eileen told someone that they couldn’t park there because they weren’t working there and she was shocked at the angry verbal abuse she got after it. Sometimes arguments would start badly but in the end they would be smiling and wondering what all the fuss was about. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.11.08 - 1.14.18 </td> <td> Describe Grattan Street A happy place to work. Liked the building and its peculiarities, its rattling windows. Arguing to get a new window where the bottom part was falling out and tin foil was blocking the gap. In her room the wind was coming in and the window wasn’t replaced. Bars on the window. And obscure glass so you could only see out when you open the top. Thought that the two stairs going to the 2nd floor in Grattan Street was cool when she was there first and the gallery all around and the open space it created. An old quaint building being pushed into something it was never meant to house. Glad to hear that there is talk of people going in there. The gallery made things different. And you could see if someone was waiting for you and have a bit of craic. An opportunistic up and down conversation. Not as easy to catch people in St Mary’s. “We will always have happy memories of Grattan Street. Always. And I’m sure it will become even more embellished with time.” </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.14.18 - 1.18.30 </td> <td> Why do people like Grattan Street? Eileen thinks it’s partly because of the people working there. The building lends itself to that. They got something good from the building. When you entered the building there were no lights on you had to go to the reception area to turn them on. One morning she heard something flush when she went in. She locked herself in her office. And called Sean (Higgisson the porter) who said the toilet just flushed itself- another peculiarity. Sometimes people were difficult in Grattan Street and Sean was calm and dealt with it. Being near town gave you lots of options for places to go which isn’t the case in St Marys. Someone could come in shouting and verbally abusive and demanding to see someone. Someone collapsed once and Sean had to get him to the Mercy Hospital in wheelchair. Try to diffuse the difficult person- Sean would be good at that and might get someone else to assist. Sean gives a relaxed attitude and talks to people. He would keep it from escalating. Eileen thinks she might not be so calm! </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.18.30 - 1.20.02 </td> <td> Varying Views of Grattan Street Medical Centre Other people who came to Grattan Street may see it as shabby, or somewhere they didn’t get what they wanted. Or there was no proper queue or waiting too long for something. They might have had trouble parking. Another person might think it’s convenient in the city centre and an interesting unusual space. “But they won’t ever see it the way we saw it. We felt we owned it. Or it owned us, you know that kind of way. Sometimes it just felt like something wrapped around you.” Felt good there. “Everyone loves Grattan Street. Put that on my epitaph.” </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.20.02 - 1.21.00 </td> <td> Definition of Patients and Clients Call people clients when working with them in the community. Patients in the hospital. Clients because they have some need but it is not always an illness. It’s always been like that in the community setting. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.21.00 - 1.23.15 </td> <td> Anything you would change about Grattan Street besides the carpark? Could have been painted. Paint the door. Make it more attractive people to get a better sense of the place before entering. Improve the exterior to make people aware they were going someplace nice. The building needs it. Down and outs sleep out the back of it so there is lots of rubbish out there. Some clear glass in the office and take away the bars. Improve the canteen a bit. St Marys is fresh, new and practical. Grattan Street not much can be done with it. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.23.15 - 1.24.28 </td> <td> Unexpected Responsibilities and Workload Eileen didn’t expect when she started out to be working so hard and carrying so many responsibilities at the age she is now. There was no reflection on where you were going at the time she started. She always wanted to work in community not hospital. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.24.28 - 1.26.15 </td> <td> Future of Grattan Street Would like to see it occupied and whoever was in there was happy in there and the building was looked after. Nearly better to close off the car park. Eileen thinks it can never be sold off. And she would like services to be in there because it is an ideal central location. H111 European Health Insurance Card is done in Grattan Street. There’s a box shaped reception which was thrown up and is not in keeping with the building she would like to see that changed. Plaster on the walls. Holes in the ceiling. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.26.15 - 1.29.13 </td> <td> Vaccines, School Nurse, Grattan Street Ghost. Vaccines- had to mind the fridges when she was a schools nurse. School nurses had to deal with AMO Area Medical Officer now called Community Medical Doctors. The room the fridges were in had no air-conditioning or coolant and sometimes the temperature would get too high. As a school nurse she would have to take the vaccines in and out and maintain the cold chain in the transfer of the vaccines. In St Mary’s there will be a cold room for those fridges. Never saw the ghost. And she had plenty of time to appear when she was there alone in the morning. Grattan Street was special. Met people with different problems. Outro. Interview ends. </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource The Ballyphehane Oral History Project Subject The topic of the resource Life history interviews with the inhabitants of the Cork City suburb of Ballyphehane about life in the area pre and post city corporation development. Description An account of the resource In June 2016 Contact was made by the<a href="https://19162016committee.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Ballyphehane 1916 Centenary Commemoration Committee</a> with the Cork Folklore Project to establish an oral history project to coincide with the events in Ballyphehane marking the centenary commemoration of the 1916 rising. The goal was to collect the memories of the residents and have a night in the community centre where these interviews would be played for the community. Ballyphehane is a suburb in the Southside of the city between Turners Cross and Togher. It was built between the 1940s and 1960s and inhabited by families rehoused from the city centre, much like Gurranabraher and Knocknaheeny in the north side. The significance of the 1916 rising to Ballyphehane is that the streets are named after the leaders of the rising. It was decided that CFP researcher and Ballyphehane resident, James Furey, would head up the project and assist volunteers in technical training and interview techniques: all interviews were carried out under the auspices of the the CFP. This interviewing project is ongoing, and there have been a number of community listening events in 2017 and 2018. Interviews have been carried out by CFP staff James Furey and David McCarthy, and by Ballyphehane resident Arnie O'Connell.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com JF: Obviously you'd been out to Ballyphehane to visit Jimmy's family and that. But had you been out to Ballyphehane when you were a child? EOS: No. There wouldn't be much of Ballyphehane built at that time now. The little houses below, in O’Growney Crescent, they were there. Now, I don't know whether they were all there or not. But there was some of them there. Parts of Pearse Road was there. There was a part of Connolly Road, because do you know up by the cross now when you go up before you come to the park? That was only all earth from that down. And I remember when I thought I was glamorous then you see. You'd have the high heels and you'd have the bit of glamour as you'd think you would. And I was saying I'm not walking down there. I'd destroy my shoes. And he gave me a backer up on his back. This is true now. He could be listening to me. The Lord have mercy on him. And he gave me a backer down before I destroyed my shoes. It was terrible. JF: Was this up in Friar's Walk was it? EOS: Up there now by the park there. So that wasn't finished. JF: So was there still orchards and market gardens and stuff around? EOS: I don't remember them now but there is, there was a family up there now, they're gone, the Varians. They were only up a couple of doors there. And they came from the market gardens. They were telling me one day. There's a very nice chap. They were living in the market gardens and they just moved. And then they were building just after that. They were building up by Sonny Fords, the shop. I can remember now there was a woman across the road and she died. And they asked me to go up and call Georgie. He was working on the flats for the Corporation.

She was born in 88 Wolfe Tone Street, maiden name Cambridge. Her father was Denis and her mother was Margaret O’Connor. She speaks of her family being twelve in total, six boys and six girls. She talks about growing up in Wolfe Tone Street. She lived in a tenement of about five or six floors with the ground floor occupied by the ‘caretaker’, a couple. Each floor cleaned their own and she remarks that she had a very good life even in the tenement. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0.19cm;"> 0.02.26 - 0.04.26 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm 0.19cm;"> Schooling. She went to St. Vincent’s Convent School, and remained there until second class. She recounts an event in school when a lay teacher made a public display of her for failing to answer a question in class and that sense of humiliation experienced never left her memory. After that event she switched to North Presentation school, she was around 8 years old at the time, and finished her schooling there. She left the North Pres before she was fourteen and went to work. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0.19cm;"> 0.04.26- 0.07.27 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm 0.19cm;"> First Job in Shoe Factory. She talks of her one and only job in Cork she had that of a Shoe Factory on Hanover Street where the present Labour Exchange is situated, owned by Dwyers. She found working there to be ‘okay’. She makes a general observation that in her life she never met ‘horrible people’, yet brings up that incident with the teacher again. She stayed in Dwyer’s until she was twenty one or two until after meeting her husband when they decided to go to England. Her mother was angry at her for giving up a ‘good job’ with pay at three pounds seven and six pence a week. She found the Dwyer’s to be good people to work for. They also had Lee Boot on Washington Street where Square Deal is now. There was no doctor on site as at the Sunbeam but there was a doctor on the South Mall that you could visit. She remembers the doctors rooms opposite the Victoria Hotel. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0.19cm;"> 0.07.28 - 0.11.56 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm 0.19cm;"> Time in England and marriage. She speaks of her time in England. She got married there. She worked in factory jobs, one of which did remote controls on the floor where she worked. She went to Birmingham first and then up to London. She got married in 1952. Never experienced anti-Irish prejudice while there. Her husband’s name was James but they called him ‘Jimmy’. He was a crane driver when she was over there with him. He was working in the railway as a fireman when he went to England first, before Elizabeth met him. She met him in Cork after he returned briefly. Only stayed in England for a few years and decided to come back after Elizabeth became pregnant. They almost went to Australia after a scheme came out trying to entice people to live there. The scheme assisted you in the fare out there, ten pounds. They had all the forms signed to go out after getting each round of papers signed by a priest or a Guard, which cost one shilling. Just at the final stage of going when she became pregnant and she had morning sickness and that ended that endeavour. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0.19cm;"> 0.11.57 - 0.14.07 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm 0.19cm;"> Return to Cork and finding her home. She talks of returning to Cork to live with Jimmy’s parents at 53 Kent Road, Ballyphehane. She says then that she lived first with Jimmy’s grandmother in an old run down cottage house in a laneway off where the Bridewell Garda Station is. There was about eight houses there but she felt a bit frightened there by its darkness and isolation. They were condemned and people living there expected to get Corporation Houses soon. But Jimmy’s parents knew a man on Pearce Road who had a good job in the Corporation and he put a good word for them and they got the house at 60 Kent Road after it became vacant. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0.19cm;"> 0.14.08 - 0.16.24 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm 0.19cm;"> Ballyphehane before and during development. She talks of Ballyphehane before it was built up fully. She wouldn’t have visited Ballyphehane when she was younger. Only the little houses in O’Growney Crescent were there, maybe not all of them, when she was growing up. Part of Pearce Road and part of Connolly Road was also there. The place along Connolly Road at the crossroads by the Park was all earth the way down. She doesn’t remember any market gardens around here but recalls a family a few doors up, the Varians, who came from the market gardens. She remembers construction up by Sonny Fords, the shop, and she was asked to call Georgie who was working on the flats for the Corporation after a woman across the way had died. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0.19cm;"> 0.16.27 - 0.19.44 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm 0.19cm;"> Ballyphehane Church and Credit Union. They were there before the Church. They started the Church when Elizabeth came to Ballyphehane. She remembers a man who used to visit each house with his book collecting subscriptions for the Church, a shilling a week. The man who did the collection was a mason, the Hurley’s and he went to America afterwards and is still there. She talks of the Credit Union but you had to pay half a crown to join and you would get a little pink book. At that time it was over at the sacristy at the Church and you joined over there because they were building the new Credit Union. You had to have thirty euros [pounds? Shillings?] saved before you could borrow ten. Great service – and she remembers that it was a priest who first set it up after he went to America and brought the idea back here. He organised meetings for the local people in relation to the idea. She thinks O’Flynn was his name…died in the plane. It was all run by volunteers. She remembers David McAuiliffe, known locally as ‘Uncle Dave’ in relation to it. Elizabeth worked with him. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0.19cm;"> 0.19.45 - 0.25.27 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm 0.19cm;"> Buying household goods and groceries. She talks of her husband getting seven or eight pounds as wages for the week when she got married first. You would buy something with the two week holiday money he would receive. She bought her first fridge out in Togher for thirty five pounds. That would mean there would be no holiday but instead you have a washing machine and fridge. She talks about shopping for groceries and the Spar coming. First was the ‘Bally’, the ‘Ballyphehane Stores’ down the road where the AIB is now. When you got a bit more money you go to the supermarket, to Dunnes Stores. She talks of Luke Burke’s having a shop in Patrick Street and when he closed down Ben Dunne bought that. She recalls seeing a man in a café in town with her daughter Mary (who worked in Dunnes Stores) who ran the original Dunnes Stores back then and who featured in a documentary recently. Jackie talks about what shopping was like in there and mentions the people working in there some of whom were local and mentions a Mona O’Donovan. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0.19cm;"> 0.25.30 - 0.31.09 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm 0.19cm;"> Living in Gurranabraher with her family. Elizabeth speaks briefly on living in Gurranabraher and then recounts playing with her brother Paddy and him falling after she used to pretend he was a horse and she the driver on their way down to her grandparents who lived in the laneway off Wolfe Tone Street. She talks about her grandparents and their house which was a two roomed house which formed most of it and how they used to pawn items when they were on ‘the binge’ and how her mother would try to avoid them in street by going different route to town when they were in that state. There was eight [children?] in her grandmother’s house. Her mother married young. Two girls died of TB as it was rampant at the time. Her mother’s maiden name was Margaret Babbington. She doesn’t know much about the Babbingtons. She couldn’t remember her grandfather working. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0.19cm;"> 0.31.18 - 0.38.12 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm 0.19cm;"> Her father and WW1. James, Elizabeth’s grandson, mentions that her father (his great-grandfather) fought in World War One and Elizabeth urges him to speak on it as he knows more than her. James then recounts a story that he was told that the grandfather was fighting with the British Army and during this particular military engagement the healthiest and fittest were out in front and those that were injured were left behind and the priest, or ‘padre’ as they were called asked for volunteers to remain behind with the wounded which would have put their lives in danger. His great-grandfather volunteered and helped the priest by getting stretchers up to the wounded. His bravery was rewarded by a special medal and they have a very good photo of him in uniform. Elizabeth then remembers when she was younger and the medals being in the chest of drawers upstairs in the main bedroom, one of three. She remembers the medals being in there but she doesn’t know where they went subsequently. Her sister’s grandson did the research on the subject and unearthed the story of the bravery medal and James himself is involved in Camden Fort and the World War One room there and hope to do something on Denis Cambridge there for that. He then says that his grandfather became very good friends with the war chaplain, who was Archdeacon Duggan. Elizabeth then speaks about him and the easy way of him as he visited them in their house in Gurranabraher. She also relates a story of how she met him once and he said to her that her father was such a good man he went straight to heaven and brave as well. Elizabeth adds that her father was a very, very quite man, nice man. He never seemed to be affected by the war and he never talked about it. He died young of cancer at the age of fifty-six. Her grand-nephew and grandson have replica medals. She doesn’t remember any negative reaction to him being in the British Army after he came back. He worked as a labourer in timber yard. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0.19cm;"> 0.38.13 - 0.42.29 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm 0.19cm;"> TB and Cork. Elizabeth talks about TB not affecting her family as they had cleared it in Cork but it did kill her two aunts on her mother side. They were young women. She relates that she know a number of people, male and female, who worked in the shoe factory in Hanover Street that died of TB. They used to say it was due to the river by the factory. They were young people. They used to go down to Sarsfield Court and Mount Desert. She believes most people died from it because they had no drugs. Discussion about conditions for TB and Elizabeth recounts her tenement house on Wolfe Tone Street having only one toilet with children on every floor but it was kept spotless due to the caretaker couple who made sure everyone cleaned their own part. Jimmy’s parents used to live in a tenement on Peter Street where they had only one toilet as well but no running water. You would have to go out on the street to a water pump and fill your container and bring it back up to the top floor where they lived. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0.19cm;"> 0.42.30 - 0.46.11 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm 0.19cm;"> Arrival of Electricity and the near death of her brothers. She talks about the change-over to new energy sources from gas to electricity. There was only gas in the house in Gurranabraher but then they put in electricity and light would come on with a switch. She recalls how her two brothers were nearly killed by a leakage from the gas piping after they removed the gas fittings in the house as they slept in their bedroom. They were saved by their aunt who lived with them as well as she heard them groaning. She couldn’t get help as they taught it was a hoax when she rang for help as that night was a bad night weather wise and a lot of hoaxes were being rang in. Her aunt ran in her bare feet to the Garda Station at the end of Rock Steps on the North Mall just beyond O’Connor’s funeral home to get help. They both survived. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0.19cm;"> 0.46.12 - 0.48.54 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm 0.19cm;"> Arrival in new home. She talks about moving into her new house in Kent Road. She was delighted to have her own house, her own front door and key. She had one child, Stephen, when she moved in. Denis was born in the house. She had six children in total and then mentions that she had seven as one child died. She then talks about the family company she has in the house and how she liked that after her husband died. She loves her house. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0.19cm;"> 0.48.55 - 0.54.43 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm 0.19cm;"> Family outings around Ballyphehane. She says that she doesn’t miss anything from the old times in Ballyphehane but then recounts how she used to take the children out the Tramore Road, out to Celia’s pub was and there was a stream there and you think you were in Youghal by the stream. Her husband would go in for a pint and if he had the money he would get a bottle of lemonade for the children. The children would paddle in the stream and it was very pleasant. Jackie then adds that she remembers walking down Tramore Road on a Sunday with her father in front on them carrying a stick going onto Hangdog Road, where Kelleher’s Electrical is and there was a farm there. They would stop by the gate to look at the chickens and hens but as you were walking down the road the rats would run across. That is why her father had the stick. Elizabeth says that where Musgraves is now was also a farm. It was country. Jackie talks about going for a walk up Airport Hill into the Airport bar. Also going over St. Finbarr’s Club house. Her aunt and her family socialised with them a lot as her husband died young. Elizabeth loved the walk going down to Blackrock. There was no bus or car and they would walk down the marina. Her husband never had a car so the family used to walk everywhere. She couldn’t afford the bus for all the children and the buses weren’t plentiful. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0.19cm;"> 0.54.43 - 0.56. 27 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm 0.19cm;"> The Bandon Train. She recalls the train that you could see on top of the hill running along. She believes it only went once a day. She remembers being asked to meet her brother’s girlfriend from Dunmanway who arrived by train at the station for Bandon. Discussion arises over where was the Bandon line ran through close to the home. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0.19cm;"> 0.56.28 - 0.59.13 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm 0.19cm;"> Activities and social events like Bonfire Night. Jackie recalls the boys used to go out to Lane’s Wood, at the back of Vermont. Jackie then mentions bonfire night and they having it at the green close to the home and a lady who used to set up a table for refreshments for the children for free. Elizabeth recalls a man who played the melodeon. He was called Mr Mac, for McCarthy. He would play when the Tory Top was closed or the ‘Little Man’s’ and there would a great sing song with a sofa still there and that would be the last into the fire. There would be dancing as well. The Little Man was the Horseshoe Inn. Very little entertainment around here. Bonfire night was a big night and John Millis used to collect a pennies from children and he would get the diluted orange and he would give them a few sweets. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0.19cm;"> 0.59.13 – 1.05.04 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm 0.19cm;"> Her Social life and Dancing. She didn’t socialise much. She didn’t drink or smoke. She loved to dance though. She went to the Arcadia and City Hall before she got married. She thought the Arcadia brilliant. She went to any big dance that came which could cost as much as five shillings. It would be on from nine to two every Saturday night for a half a crown but if a big band came it would be five shillings. She met her husband Jimmy in the City Hall at a dance. She relates how the ‘boys’ would be on one side and the ‘girls’ would be on the other and the male would come across to ask for a dance. She didn’t have much preparation for the dances – the clothes weren’t as glamourous as today or as much make-up. She said she wasn’t into make-up generally. Her husband however liked to look good – always careful to mind his clothes. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0.19cm;"> 1.05.05 – 1.09.26 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm 0.19cm;"> Sense of community and helping in Ballyphehane. She experienced a great sense of community in Ballyphehane. She is over sixty years here and hasn’t a bad word for the place. Her son Denis was born upstairs, the first after she moved to Kent Road. He was helped in delivery by Mrs. Willis next door. She was a great neighbour as you could call her. Her husband loved sweet things and she remembers when he was sick he had a ‘catch’ of sweets down the wardrobe and his bottle as well. She thinks that he used to get up to get a sweet but there would be a little bit of alcohol with it. She was the opposite and always hated alcohol. If she needed help when he was ill she would rap on the wall and the neighbour would call in, but mostly Linda who developed a good relationship with him during his ill times. Recounts a story about Linda getting hit accidently. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0.19cm;"> 1.09.27 – 1.14.14 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm 0.19cm;"> Ballyphehane as child friendly and welcoming. It was a great place to bring up children. She experienced no problem. Jackie speaks about how everybody hadn’t much so there wasn’t much competition and they all played together. Elizabeth then relates how a new neighbour moved in close by and her advice to her about renovating her house with the start point being the bedroom and then the kitchen and you have the rest of your life to do the rest. Nowadays, she thinks, young ones want it done straight away. Both Elizabeth and Jackie talk about how over the years new families have moved in and integrated very well. Jackie remembers how they used to play soccer using a neighbours gate and their own gate as goalposts. Never any trouble with the neighbours. Elizabeth speaks about a new neighbour who is ‘dark skinned’ and says she doesn’t bother anyone but doesn’t get involved either. They are very quite. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-top:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0.19cm;"> 1.14.15 – 1.23.11 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm 0.19cm;"> Musgrave Park and its impact on their life. Elizabeth talks about the rugby pitch which is next to her house and remembers the local opposition to the flood lights and people coming to her door to sign a petition against them, fearing they would be doing concerts. There was also a collection for to employ a solicitor but when the lights were installed, she states, they interfered with nobody. Jackie urges Lizzie to talk about the time the All Blacks came and the place being full of camper vans but Lizzie talks about another time a visiting couple asked her could they leave their bags there with her for them to go for a walk and they went for a walk around the lough. She fed them when they came back. They intended to ‘thump’ back to Limerick after the match. Lizzie wouldn’t allow them to do that as it would be dark after the match and she persuaded to stay the night and go in the morning. Jackie again goes back to the All Black match and the visitors had camper vans and all the gear for making their own food but still the front door was left open and they used to come in to use the bathroom. The only problem she mentions would be traffic sometimes but the Guards are very good. James talks about the concerts there and one in particular, El Divo, and how Uncle Arthur expected to arrive in the house and be able to hear the concert but that turned out to be not the case. General talk amongst those present of how nice it is to live in Ballyphehane. Jamie Fury then reads the legal document regarding the recording of Elizabeth ‘Lizzie’ O’Sullivan.

Title A name given to the resource Cork 2005 Project Subject The topic of the resource Interviewing and radio project exploring migration, cultural contact and the social and physical landscape of Cork City in 2004 and 2005 and in the past, comprising of forty audio interviews and resulting in six half-hour radio programmes and a book. Description An account of the resource The Cork 2005 Project was carried out and funded as part of Cork’s tenure as European Capital of Culture in 2005. Building on the theme ‘City of Culture’, the project explored the questions: ‘What is the everyday culture of Cork City?’ and ‘Who are the people of the city?’, and aimed to broaden our archival holdings to reflect the increased numbers of migrants making their home in the city. 37 ethnographic interviews were carried out with Cork residents, more than two-thirds of whom had come to Cork from elsewhere, exploring their relationship with the cultural and social landscape of the city. The interviews include accounts of family life and growing up in Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, China, England, Germany, India, Iraq, Israel, Kurdistan, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Poland, Slovakia, South Africa Ukraine, and the United States. A six-part radio series, entitled ‘How’s it goin’, boy?’ was broadcast on Cork Campus Radio in 2005, and a book of the same name was published in 2006. You can listen to the radio programmes on our website: How's it goin', boy? Radio Series. The interviews in this collection all have a similar structure. We asked all interviewees to describe their childhood neighbourhoods and communities and to discuss their relationship with Cork city in the present day. We also discussed experiences of migrancy, first impressions and cultural contact with those who had come to Cork from elsewhere and with Corkonians who had experience of migration. Interviewees came from diverse areas including Australia, the Marsh, Nigeria, Brittany, Gurranabraher, Russia, Evergreen Street, Spain, Poland and Kurdish Iraq. The collection project was carried out from March 2004 – June 2005. Interviewers on the project: Jennifer Butler; Lee Cassidy; Sean Claffey; Diane Hoppe; Dolores Horgan; John Mehegan; Clíona O’Carroll; Mary O’Driscoll; Noel O’Shaughnessy: Frances Quirke.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com F Q: Was it then that you left Nigeria? E I: No. I left in two-thousand and two because, when I moved out of Kaduna, I had to stay over in the university campus —which is the Montebello University— where my Internet café… I was running the Internet café. So, that was where the business was… I shot home from Kaduna in the mornings over there to Zaria, and the close of the business for the day. I also shot over… go over back to Kaduna. So while I moved my family, I rented a house in Zaria —which was the university community, the city where the university is—. So, in two-thousand and two… There has been a sustained process whereby the Muslim students usually win the student annual elections; they have always held all the positions: the president, the secretary, finance… all the positions they take over. And… when I came in, I started running the Internet café. I had good patrons… I was getting good patrons because often internet cafés… well, I was doing well and I had good people working with me —and working for me—. But on that time we now sort of had you know, meetings. There was meetings you know, church groups, but meetings amongst the students who were Christians at least… the kind of getting together to be together and talking about matters that affects Christians in the campus. So, it happened that in one of the… within those times we now floated a fellowship and, at that fellowship, it was when we started… I also introduced ideas about how to really, you know, offset the imbalance and the idea was, at least, to be more involved… the students getting more involved —at least getting into good positions— so that that would actually change the imbalance or the status quo. Then, I promised them to provide the assistance needed —well, financially the way that I can—: the posters, I undertook the posters; I sponsored one of the students, a Christian. I saw to it that, you know, the students got good following for him, doing a bit of… kind of, good publicity. And that actually was able to… the votes tilted when the election came: it was in favour of this Christian boy, and he got elected. When the Muslims —as soon as that— saw that they had actually lost grounds, they objected and attacked the voting group, some of them who were Christians… came down on the students. And it was widely reported in the papers and in the media because about fifty students got killed and some hospitalised; a lot of girls were raped, Christian girls were raped and some had serious injuries, you know, fatal injuries and were admitted in hospitals. They came down my end, but I was lucky to get a tip-off one of the Muslim boys who usually patronised me and he said his conscience tells him that he wouldn’t be happy if he allows me fall into their hands. So he forewarned me that, at this time, this is what is going to happen; I shouldn’t come out to the business —to the internet café—; I must leave that city at once because the whole target is that, if they get to me —and that boy who won—, automatically they have broken our base. So, when they got to the internet café, we were locked, you know, we were closed. And they tattered the place because it was me always using their container —a forty feet container, two forty feet and a twenty feet container— so it was all mashed together but I was paying for the long space to the school authorities. So I got the masts, [because usually we don’t have easy connection, so we build a hundred and twenty feet masts so we can get the line of connection into the… between the radio that I am using and the base station that supplies connectivity]. So, some of them climbed up to the masts, brought down the radio —you know, because usually we use the radio on the mast— and the antenna, destroying it; he hacked the keys out from the locks, went in there; virtually ransacked the whole place; took off computers and… they did so many things and the authorities, the law enforcement were nowhere. A lot of us called out… a lot of the students —Christian students who ran to safety— called out to the police and nobody came!

Title A name given to the resource Emeka Ikebuasi: Customs, Nigeria, Political Unrest, Stories, Refugee Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Cork; Ireland; Nigeria; Description An account of the resource Emeka Ikebuasi from Nigeria describes the harrowing political events which led to his family coming to Cork as refugees. He talks, in depth, of his village upbringing in Nigeria and highlights village ceremonies, the telling of stories, witch doctors and holiday customs. Emeka was born in Kaduna State, Northern Nigeria, Africa. There were ten children in his family. The first two children came from his father’s first marriage. Emeka describes the village he grew up in as clustered, with neighbours living just a few metres from each other. They didn’t have toys but played street games like football and rolling tyres. They sang songs as the community gathered in the moonlight and the children played hide and seek. Their grandmother told them stories that carried moral themes. Emeka’s paternal grandfather was a tribal leader. Emeka recalls the story of his grandfather’s death: how someone with a grievance got a witch doctor to put a curse on him. Emeka talks about how African weddings are more traditional; how the families come together to prepare the food and palm wine and how certain dishes must be there for the wedding to be regarded as a proper wedding. The actual ceremony is the father of the bride presenting a glass of wine to his daughter who gives it to her future husband. Children received small gifts of money and clothes at Christmas. They might witness the slaughter of a goat or chicken for the meal. Festivities could last for three days. The family fled Kaduna in 2000 because of religious wars between Christians and Muslims and the introduction of Sharia Law. Their home was burnt down and the family circle moved to safety to other African states. Emeka describes the horror of people being murdered and corpses lying on the street for days. Emeka came to Ireland in 2002 after his business was destroyed in riots and his family was under threat. He describes coming to Cork via Dublin and staying in Glounthaune until he set up home in Carrigaline. There are a number of African shops and restaurants and Emeka describes all the different African states that are represented in Cork: How they all speak broken English to understand each other. The Cork Inter-Cultural Group was set up to help change negative perceptions of minority groups. Emeka outlines its many activities for children and adults and discusses the social and cultural gatherings he has been involved in. He comments on the care and support he received from Cork people. Emeka reflects on how safe Cork is and how he can wake up and ‘find his head where he left it’.

The project was concerned with those who had first had experiences of being stricken with the disease, their family members and the public health practitioners who served on the frontline of past epidemics. The diseases the project focused on were: polio, tuberculosis, diphtheria and measles, Spanish flu and COVID-19. The project grew from seed funding through the Irish Research Council and University College Cork's(UCC) College of Arts, Celtic Studies & Social Sciences. This funding enabled the team to collate material in the Cork Folklore Project's archive and create a pilot online resource. In 2022 the project was awarded an SFI Discover grant that allowed the team to undertake new bespoke interviews and grow the online dissemination platform. To date (February 2023), Catching Stories consists of XX interviews. 'Catching Stories' has also been drawn from the Cork Folklore Project Sound Archive for other related material.

Culture Night 2022 <img class="size-medium wp-image-407 alignnone" src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Culture-Night-2020-30-300x224.jpg" alt="Culture-Night-2020-30-300x224.jpg" /><img src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Culture-Night-2020-6-300x224.jpg" alt="Culture-Night-2020-6-300x224.jpg" /> For Culture night the team went to the streets to set up a ‘time travelling’ vaccination clinic outside the old medical centre on Grattan St Cork City. Willing participants sat on a bench and heard Joe Scanlon’s story of receiving the ‘Branding Iron’, Joe’s term for the vaccine apparatus used in the 1950s. Joe’s story and the event elicited a great response from those who took part. Science Week 2022 <img src="https://corkfolklore.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Science-Week-2022-2-724x1024.png" style="width:200px;height:300px;" alt="Science-Week-2022-2-724x1024.png" /> Celebrate Science Family Day on 13th November 2022 <img src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/IMG_5840-300x200.jpg" alt="IMG_5840-300x200.jpg" /> Our first outing for Cork Science Festival was at the ‘Celebrate Science’ Family Day at University College Cork’s Western Gateway Building. For this event, we fired up the ‘Time-machine’ to bring participants on a trip to 1958, the day Joe Scanlon received a vaccine, or as Joe calls it, <a href="https://catchingstories.org/getting-the-vaccine/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">‘The Branding Iron’</a>. <img src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/IMG_5844-300x200.jpg" alt="IMG_5844-300x200.jpg" /> The Catching Stories team held four sessions. We played Joe’s story and quizzed our audience on their knowledge of infectious diseases and their memory of receiving vaccines. There was excellent engagement with both young and old. The younger participants left with a greater understanding of diseases like polio and tuberculosis. And the older members relayed their stories of getting vaccinated and how infectious diseases had encroached on their lives. Science Week Talk UCC Student Hub Those who braved the horrendous rain on November 15th were delighted to shelter in The Shtepps to hear the presentation from James Furey and Beth Brint on how folklore and STEM can work together to bring new perspectives on health education and understanding. Exhibition <img src="https://corkfolklore.org/archivecatalolgue/files/original/d3170f22a998193439e53217786f14ea.jpg" style="width:200px;height:300px;" alt="d3170f22a998193439e53217786f14ea.jpg" /> The exhibition in UCC's Boole Library (16 February - 25 June 2023), was an innovative exploration of how to engage people with a topic that does not lend itself too easily to public dissemination. The exhibition foregrounded the human voice through audio installations (Made by Dr Jeffery Weeter), links to interviews, and interaction with physical objects. It invited visitors to join interviewees in the experience of manually ventilating a child with polio throughout the night in 1956 and to move along a waiting-room bench when facing vaccination by the dreaded ‘Branding Iron’ or to imagine the loss of a childhood classmate from measles. Artworks by <a href="https://lesleycoxart.com/earlier-works-3-polio-series/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lesley Cox</a> also explore the impact of polio on families and communities. <img src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/1676973595601-scaled.jpg" style="width:350px;height:650px;" alt="1676973595601-scaled.jpg" /><img src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/1676973595744-scaled.jpg" style="width:300px;height:650px;" alt="1676973595744-scaled.jpg" /> <img src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/1676973595665-scaled.jpg" style="width:650px;height:350px;" alt="1676973595665-scaled.jpg" /> <img src="https://lesleycoxart.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/image29.jpg" style="width:350px;height:650px;" alt="image29.jpg" />(©Lesley Cox) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource James Furey Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Cork Folklore Project Audio Archive Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Cork Folklore Project Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Cork Folklore Project Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Audio Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource .wav Files Oral History A resource containing historical information obtained in interviews with persons having firsthand knowledge.

Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Audio Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource 8 .wav files Description An account of the resource This collection of eight interviews concentrates on Cork City’s historic spine, North and South Main Streets. These streets link the island of the city centre with the North and South Sides of the city. They form a shopping and business area, which has also served a residential purpose down through the years. Although our broader collection contains much description of and stories from the area, these interviews (carried out between January and March 2015 and totalling 4 hours 28 minutes in duration) focus specifically on the streets, their past and their future. Interviewees include residents of the streets and their environs and those who work and have worked there, and the interviews encompass memories of the area from the 1940s onwards, descriptions of change in the area, and reflection on the area’s future. Interviews were carried out with local residents, one of whom is a local historian, representatives of three multi-generational family businesses (Leader’s clothing, the North Gate Pharmacy and Bradley’s Off-licence), a South Main Street resident and city planner, a cityscape historian, and a promoter who was particularly active in organising events in the nightclub Sir Henry’s in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com TW: Are you familiar with South Main Street? EOB: I am. Not as familiar as I am with North. AB: I lived on South Main Street. I lived over Avesca Funding. We’re still trying to figure out Avesca Funding were. It’s a mystery. EOB: Is that one of the sites that’s in NAMA now (?). I’m not sure. AB: I think it is. It is actually, yeah. Do you think that South Main Street would have the same appeal or is there anything there anymore that could be regenerated? EOB: I think that, actually that’s a good question because right now, you’ve heard about the City Centre Strategy that they’ve put together. We’ve had some consultants who have looked at ideas for the city centre. We’re turning that into an action plan right now. I’m actually tasked with looking at the historic spine from Barrack Street to Shandon so these are things I’ve been thinking about a lot. Getting back to the South Main Street question, we’ve divided it into four sub-areas. South Main Street has its own ting going on and there really isn’t a community there as much as in other places. My hope would be that as the area re-develops, if it’s done well, that forming that basis of community would be part of it too. So maybe there’ll be a new community. I had an architect friend who was saying, not from a religious point of view but just from a community point of view, you kind of think of it as the different medieval parishes along the way and we’ll kind of be re-creating that parish, so to speak, around, I suppose he was saying, around Triskel, St Finbarr’s, the Vision Centre, St Anne’s as you move up the historic spine.

Title A name given to the resource Erin O'Brien: Historic Spine Subject The topic of the resource North Main Street and South Main Street Description An account of the resource Erin O’Brien is originally from Nebraska but has lived in Ireland since 1993. She is a planner at the Planning Department at City Hall and she also lives on North Main Street. In this interview, she takes an in-depth look mostly at North Main Street, and details potential ideas for re-development and maintaining the character of the area. She states specifically, that she works in the Planning Department and consults regularly with the Conservation Officer, archaeologists, and Heritage Officer in her efforts to discover what kind of development would best suit different parts of the city. Explaining that she is in charge of looking at the Historical Spine (“Barrack Street to Shandon”) under the City Centre Strategy, she discusses the types of activity and development that a given “zone” will be able to accommodate, stressing that North Main Street does not have the specifications to attract high street retail like St Patrick Street (and that this is a good thing!) The aim, she states, is to promote the development of North Main Street as a kind of bohemian area for a younger crowd. She explains that the demographic (current as of the time of this interview) in the North Main Street area are mostly in their 20s, international in origin, and in the tech sector commuting outside City Centre for work. The struggle, additionally, is to keep businesses alive in the North Main Street area. There is mention of the “Living Above the Shops Scheme” as well as discussion of the knocking down of buildings that had fallen into disuse and that were no longer safe, i.e. “gap sites”. Erin highlights that Cork City Centre has a very high number of independent shops compared to city centres in the UK and elsewhere and that this is one of the charms of the city. The discussion also features a good amount of back and forth between the interviewers and the interviewee with an appreciation for sites like the Old Beamish Brewery (and it’s Christmas Tree) and the former Liberty Pub as well as a general appreciation for the small neighbourhood atmosphere to be found particularly on North Main Street.

The project was concerned with those who had first had experiences of being stricken with the disease, their family members and the public health practitioners who served on the frontline of past epidemics. The diseases the project focused on were: polio, tuberculosis, diphtheria and measles, Spanish flu and COVID-19. The project grew from seed funding through the Irish Research Council and University College Cork's(UCC) College of Arts, Celtic Studies & Social Sciences. This funding enabled the team to collate material in the Cork Folklore Project's archive and create a pilot online resource. In 2022 the project was awarded an SFI Discover grant that allowed the team to undertake new bespoke interviews and grow the online dissemination platform. To date (February 2023), Catching Stories consists of XX interviews. 'Catching Stories' has also been drawn from the Cork Folklore Project Sound Archive for other related material. The project's main output is an online resource (<a style="color:#4a6ee0;background:transparent;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" target="_blank" href="http://www.catchingstories.org" class="editor-rtfLink" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.catchingstories.org</a>).

Willing participants sat on a bench and heard Joe Scanlon’s story of receiving the ‘Branding Iron’, Joe’s term for the vaccine apparatus used in the 1950s. Joe’s story and the event elicited a great response from those who took part. Science Week 2022 <img src="https://corkfolklore.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Science-Week-2022-2-724x1024.png" style="width:200px;height:300px;" alt="Science-Week-2022-2-724x1024.png" /> Celebrate Science Family Day on 13th November 2022 <img src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/IMG_5840-300x200.jpg" alt="IMG_5840-300x200.jpg" /> Our first outing for Cork Science Festival was at the ‘Celebrate Science’ Family Day at University College Cork’s Western Gateway Building. For this event, we fired up the ‘Time-machine’ to bring participants on a trip to 1958, the day Joe Scanlon received a vaccine, or as Joe calls it, <a href="https://catchingstories.org/getting-the-vaccine/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">‘The Branding Iron’</a>. <img src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/IMG_5844-300x200.jpg" alt="IMG_5844-300x200.jpg" /> The Catching Stories team held four sessions. We played Joe’s story and quizzed our audience on their knowledge of infectious diseases and their memory of receiving vaccines. There was excellent engagement with both young and old. The younger participants left with a greater understanding of diseases like polio and tuberculosis. And the older members relayed their stories of getting vaccinated and how infectious diseases had encroached on their lives. Science Week Talk UCC Student Hub Those who braved the horrendous rain on November 15th were delighted to shelter in The Shtepps to hear the presentation from James Furey and Beth Brint on how folklore and STEM can work together to bring new perspectives on health education and understanding. Exhibition <img src="https://corkfolklore.org/archivecatalolgue/files/original/d3170f22a998193439e53217786f14ea.jpg" style="width:200px;height:300px;" alt="d3170f22a998193439e53217786f14ea.jpg" /> The exhibition in UCC's Boole Library (16 February - 25 June 2023), was an innovative exploration of how to engage people with a topic that does not lend itself too easily to public dissemination. The exhibition foregrounded the human voice through audio installations (Made by Dr Jeffery Weeter), links to interviews, and interaction with physical objects. It invited visitors to join interviewees in the experience of manually ventilating a child with polio throughout the night in 1956 and to move along a waiting-room bench when facing vaccination by the dreaded ‘Branding Iron’ or to imagine the loss of a childhood classmate from measles.

Her parents were living in England prior to her birth. Father worked for Ford in Dagenham. Evelyn only met her father a handful of times. After her parent’s relationship ended Evelyn’s mother and her older brother Barry moved to the corporation estate of O’Growney Crescent in Ballyphehane. At the age of 3 Evelyn contracted polio. Two years were spent in Cappagh Hospital in Finglas Co. Dublin. Evelyn brings us through her live, from schooling Turners Cross which she made lifelong friendships but also had her first instance of isolation.

Title A name given to the resource The Cork Memory Map Collection Subject The topic of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. Description An account of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. In 2010, the Cork Folklore Project initiated a new collection and dissemination project, entitled the Cork Memory Map. We wished to step up our interviewing programme and enhance public access to our holdings through the creation of an online map of stories and memories. A central concern in this initial stage was to keep our research agenda as open as possible in terms of generating accounts of everyday life in the city down through the years. As we were not carrying out topic-focussed interviews (in contrast to previous projects on topics such as song in the Northside, drag hunting and occupational lore), the place-based focus enabled us to explore everyday life at different stages of interviewees’ life histories, remaining open to cues from the interviewees while maintaining a sense of direction and purpose for all involved. The fact that the interviews were structured around memories of place, rather than taking the form of life history interviews, also had an impact on the material gathered. The initial phase of interviewing was carried out in the main with older residents of Cork City, Ireland, who grew up in the city centre or adjacent suburbs and who were born between 1929 and 1950. Lasting between 45 minutes and two hours, individual interviews in the Memory Map project tend to follow a similar pattern. A description of the interviewee’s childhood neighbourhood is followed by a succession of ‘grand tour’ questions about daily routines, work and play within the neighbourhood. Places important or familiar to interviewees were explored, as were routes habitually taken through the landscape. This narrative base was used as a springboard for using cues provided by the interviewees as the basis for follow-up questions on significant people and activities mentioned. A sub-collection of shorter interviews was generated during Heritage Week (20-28 August) 2011. The Cork Folklore Project, in collaboration with Civic Trust House, launched the Memory Map Project with an exhibition and collection event throughout the week. Visitors to the exhibition were invited to ‘put themselves on the map’ through short interviews. The Memory Map also featured in a ten-minute Curious Ear documentary broadcast on RTÉ Radio 1 during Heritage Week, and available as a podcast (The Curious Ear/Documentary on One (Cork City Memory Map) http://www.rte.ie/radio1/doconone/2011/0816/646858-curious-ear-doconone-cork-city-memory-map/). The bulk of the interviews were carried out between July and December 2010 (21 interviews), with 9 full-length interviews carried out in the second half of 2011, along with 18 shorter interviews carried out during heritage week, 23-27 August 2011, and 9 interviews in the second half of 2012. 1 video interview was carried out in January 2014 with Memory Map interviewee Pat Speight. The design for the map and supporting database design was carried out by Cheryl Donaghue (UCC) as project work for an MSc in Interactive Media, with assistance from Colin Mac Hale. The Project received support for the further technical development of the map from the Irish Heritage Council in 2012. The map itself has undergone various iterations, the most recent being its preparation for use on the Omeka platform by the CFP team and PhD candidate Penny Johnston in 2016/2017. Existing and subsequent interviews from the CFP collections have also been utilised for the online mapping dissemination project: the interviews designated as ‘memory map’ interviews are those carried out specifically with the map in mind from 2010 onwards. Support: This project was supported by the Heritage Council of Ireland in the Heritage Education Community and Outreach grant scheme, 2012, and also received support from the Cork City Council Community Grants Scheme.

If you wish to access further archival material for this interview or other interviews please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com FG: Yeah, I remember people used to come in with orders. It was a form of HP, and I remember the Shawlie ladies coming in and they were very decent people. Very straight to deal with. They were fine. We got a lot of country people then. Especially the church holidays were exceptionally busy. All the farmers would be in and they’d all be looking for bargains and all. I would remember. They also had a tailoring department then. They made clothes for the military. They had a military contract and everything. It was a fine store. It was an awful pity it went. But things changed. Trends, changing trends and fashions and everything. GoD: when you were looking inside what sparked your memory, of any of the articles inside, reminiscences. What got you thinking of all these memories? FC: Yeah. The layout was. We had a very special hat department inside the door I’ll always remember. I spent most of my time in the men’s outfitting they called it. The layout was different. All the stuff was in drawers. Today stuff is on the racks. It is hanging everywhere. But that time, a person came in for socks or anything you had to pull out a drawer and they’d pick and choose. The display was different. And you had these long mahogany counters. And I remember the hat department. While you got some lovely customers, you’d get some, those days, you’d get some very troublesome people. Over the years they became known, and they became known from other shops. We’d see them coming along, maybe down the stairs or coming up the store and we could always duck into the hat department and get away from them. We had great hideouts. Sometimes we could even manage to duck the boss if we saw him on the war path. The layout was better from that point of view. Everything is more open now, you couldn’t get away with anything. There was more crack as well. There was more jokes and playing pranks on people than there is today. My father, God rest him, told me a story that in the early days in the Arcade, well before my time now, or your time, of course, they used to sleep in there. They had a dormitory, especially for fellas coming up from the country. And they’d great fun when fellas would come up from the country. One fella, pretending to be a doctor and he’d be examining and you know and all this. But there was one story told, that they used to go to bed at night. And it was almost like a boarding school. The supervisor would come along with a torch to make sure they were all in bed. Apparently one night one fella ducked out to a dance, and the authorities didn’t know anything about it. They dressed up one of the dummies and put it into his bed in the dormitory. Your man came back from the dance, got into his bed and nothing was known about it. That was one of the funny stories I heard. So, that is as much as I can tell you. GoD: Ah, that’s brilliant. That’s great. Thanks ever so much.

Title A name given to the resource Fergal Crowley: Patrick Street, Munster Arcade, Black and Tans Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Description An account of the resource Fergal worked in the Munster Arcade, Patrick Street. He describes the shop. His father started work there in 1901. After the building was burned by the Black and Tans during the Burning of Cork, the British government paid to have buildings on one side of the street rebuilt. He remembers and names all the old cinemas of Cork. There was a milk and cake shop near O’Sullivan’s Quay. During the Second World War, he was issued with a gas mask; rationing continued until 1951. He tells a funny story about a Guard and not having a light on his bike. He notes that the city was safe, and contrasts it with today’s more violent society. Fergal talks again about the Munster Arcade; how clothes were displayed. He tells a funny story about sleeping at work and one employee sneaking out to a dance.

Well, of course as most people who knew him, knew him as a Fianna Fail TD, senator and councillor, obviously. But also, then as lord mayor in 64, 65, and again in 1975, which was the occasion for The Loft members presenting this particular photograph to him. It's a photograph of the city hall as it was in 1896, I think. But that's, that's the background to him. He was…. married to my sister, Rita, and they lived in, in Montenotte area for many years before moving to Blackrock, shortly before he died. A character, there's no question about it. He was small of stature…… had some little bit of a, a disability, I suppose it would be referred to as today. But it was no disability to Gus. He was, as I said, a great character, great sense of humour and, and obviously was very connected to, to The Loft.</div> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource LGBT Collection Subject The topic of the resource Stories and memories of LGBT life in Cork City and County. Description An account of the resource The LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) collection was launched and created in August 2014 by Stephen Dee and Dermot Casey, researchers at the Cork Folklore Project. The Project was established to record and preserve stories and memories of LGBT life in Cork City and County, with a focus prior to decriminalization in 1993 but also to document the important achievements and struggles that contributed to a society that today is far more accepting of LGBT people. This is proven today with the legalisation of same sex marriage through popular vote and the increased visibility of LGBT people in all areas of public life. The collection’s aims are to explore three main aspects: ‘Personal Recollections’ including but not limited to identity, coming out and experiences of homophobia; ‘Community Stories’ based on certain areas, streets, and forms of social interaction within the LGBT community; and ‘Political Movements’, chronicling political events, motivations and outcomes such as the creation of the Cork-based Irish Gay Rights Movement in 1976, Cork Gay Collective in 1980, and UCC Gay Soc in 1980. Each interview we conducted was unique with each interviewee covering some or all of these topics and with some areas being explored in depth. We hope the material can complement LGBT research in Ireland and also stimulate further interest amongst the public in LGBT history. To date we have distributed some of this material to the public with an audio visual presentation on YouTube and in 2016 in conjunction with Cork City Partnership for LGBT Awareness week we produced a public exhibition of our sound excerpts at Cork City Library. Special thanks to all our interviewees and also to Alvina Cassidy whose research also features in this collection. This LGBT collection of interviews is stored within the Cork Folklore Project permanent oral history archive run in conjunction with UCC’s Folklore and Ethnology Department and Northside Community Enterprises, with both a physical and digital presence. As with all our material, access to full interviews is supervised through a variety of permissions and forms.

I told him one night, it was around Christmas, his family had gone to bed and we were still having a few drinks and I told him by the way and even authorised that he could tell everyone the following day if he wanted so it got out around that particular circle eventually. I never told anybody at work as such except one fellow and that was pure accident, em, I used to work down west Cork at the time but I lived in the city but this one character he used to like to come up to Cork for a few drinks, wouldn’t say every week now but every second week and he tried to make a point of meeting me and we used to always meet on Douglas Street, the Gables generally at the time and eh, I’d want to get down to Loafers before closing time do you know just to see who was around, whatever, he used go nightclubbing the nights he would come up, stay in Cork for the night and go nightclubbing. I was always escaping from him around eleven o clock and em, one night he says to me, em, Fi (possibly short for Finbarr) where do you go now, you always go away around this time, where do you go? I’m dying to know, ah I said I just go down the road to some other pup down there. Which one do you go to and maybe I had a few pints that night and I said well Dennis actually its fucking Loafers and I told him straight out then and he got the biggest land of his life, em, he more or less said he thought I would be the last person in the world to be gay but anyway he said you know what I always wanted to see what that pub is like can I come down with you, so he actually came down with me for a drink that night. DC Ah cool! FK And em I still meet the same guy, I’m gone out of that firm nine years now maybe and he’s gone out of it even before me but we still meet regularly for a drink, well when I say regularly maybe once a year, twice a year max and he never told anyone else down in work so as far as I’m concerned work never knew but I was always, I worked in west Cork, lived in Cork city so the two lives didn’t clash you know, I kept my social life completely separate from work life so as far as I know nobody down there knew, for as long as I was there now maybe I’m wrong maybe they did know and they were just been polite you know as I’m a good actor you know. I worked with another fellow in Cork, em, up to three years ago and god he was every day he’d be telling me about his conquests for the night with different various women whatever, I met the guy there last year for a drink and em, there was another member with us who he had got to know we used to meet kind of regularly and he got to know another gay character with me and the gay fellow was going away one night and my friend says where are you going now and he said I’m going down to Loafers and he said uh and when he was gone the other fellow asked me I never knew he was gay and I says sure you never asked him, I suppose not he said, by the way I am too he said whaaaat…(laughter) now a week later I met him again or two weeks later and as it turned out he ended up coming back here and initiated some sexual activity.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com This was Unitarianism, was illegal up until the early part of the 19th Century in fact it was punishable by death to espouse Unitarian points of view, and understandably Unitarians would of kept their heads low and so and so this church evolved as a liberal Presbyterian church with the lifting of the prohibition on Unitarianism, Unitarian ideas, in the, I think it was 1817. Unitarianism grew as a more identifiable part of the church and this gave rise to friction, and basically there was a schism between the Unitarians who believed in the oneness of God and the Trinitarians who believed in the doctrine of the trinity and that split resulted in eventually Reverent Faris congregation going up, and they eventually built the trinity church and that is how that arose but he is quiet right, the Presbyterians and Unitarians worship here for many, many decades.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com S.H: Do you think the public see a different side of an entertainer like your late husband to what close friends and family do? B.O’M: I don’t know, like they were so well known. Even at the dances they’d know everybody. S.H: So they weren’t really up there as stars? B.O’M: No. I remember once he saw an old friend and he shouted out across the road ‘ Jesus Christ, girl are you still alive?’ You know he was a real Northside man, he never changed over the years. I don’t think he was any different in Las Vegas to the way he would have been at home. S.H: Were you heartened by Northside people after he passed away? B.O’M: So many people rallied round, it was the holiday time and somebody said ‘if they hadn’t been on holiday they’d still be there’ I remember Joe said it and I thought to myself, ‘My god that’s right’. We were so long outside the church we thought that was the end we didn’t realise we had to go to the graveyard after. I said ‘Jesus there’s another funeral ahead of us’. F.Mc: We thought we had come in on top of another funeral. B.O’M: There was so many people, thousands of people, at the grave outside our door they had come with us. But of course he was so well known, at the bar, he was in a partnership with a bar, his brother down in Blackpool for years and years.

Em i-i-it was the way we went about things. I, I mentioned earlier about the big railway bridge. That was a huge dividing line on the Lower Road. J S Above The Bridge and Below The Bridge. F S Yeah -- you were either Above The Bridge or Below The Bridge. You were born into one tribe or the other, and there was nothing you could do about it. M S [laughs] J S And you couldn’t mix. F S You couldn’t, no, no, no. We went to school together, we did -- we were in the Scouts together, but basically you were either Above The Bridge or Below The Bridge, and we went to war with each other, we played games against each other -- J S Matches. F S -- we had stone battering [laughs] against each other. J S Yeah. F S Em I, I remember one time -- and I suppose this now might shock people today, but I remember that there was a very intense Above The Bridge-Below The Bridge war in em -- I forget what summer it was. And I remember we, we captured Gully. J S Oh Gully. [laughs] F S We captured Gully and we tried him. He was from Below The Bridge, and we tried him and naturally we found him guilty and then we decided we’d have to execute him, so we tied him to a pole and we shot him with skeories. J S Yeah. F S Yeah, do you know the red, the -- what are they, what’s their proper name? J S Eh -- F S The red -- J S Hawthorn. F S Hawthorn, red hawthorn berries. You know? M S How did ye shoot him? J S Catapults. F S With a little catapult. M S And would ye have made the catapults yerselves? F S Oh absolutely. Absolutely. J S Ah of course. Yeah. Jeepers. M S How would ye make the catapults? J S You just get a bit of stick -- F S A fork of stick. [laughing] J S A fork of stick and a -- put the, the elastic between it and that was it. F S Yeah. M S Would -- J S We bought nothing because there was nothing there for us to buy. F S Yeah. And there was no money to buy it either. J S Everything we made -- No, everything we played with, we made. F S Mm. J S Like a great place I can remember down was Dwyers. F S Yeah, oh that was unbelievable. J S Was it Woodhill or something? I, I -- F S It was one of the old merchant houses of Cork, Woodhill Villas. J S Yeah, that’s right. But down below it was just a haven for kids. F S Yeah. J S There was a football pitch belong to Saint Patricks who we were all involved with. F S Yeah. J S Then there was a wood, I suppose, well to us twas a wood anyway, probably only a [scart? 15:40] really. F S Well I suppose -- originally, I would say it was actually a landscaped garden because -- Remember the place we used call the Fort? The round -- that actually was a lake, a little artificial -- J S That thing -- the roundy -- Yeah. I often wondered what that was. F S -- pond, you know? And I don’t know if you remember but there were a lot of unusual trees. J S There was, yeah, yeah. F S And I, I’d say they were deliberately planted because I forget which of the families lived in the actual big house -- and it was a big house -- J S Colossal. F S In our time ‘twas done in flats so to speak, you know? But it was one of the great big houses of Cork that are all down that side of Montenotte on down into em Little Island, on that side of the road, you have one big house after another, you know. So that, that was those grounds. But they, they were absolute heaven. J S Yeah. F S We would head off about ten in the morning -- J S We were always cowboys and Indians. F S Yeah, cowboys and Indians. [hiccup] J S I can remember actually, one thing sticks out in my mind. I was on the opposite one to you, of course. F S Yeah. J S And whatever anyway, you threw your spear and the spear just went ‘Boom’ [mimes spear hitting him] and I just went -- ‘boom’ -- F S [laughs] J S But like -- didn’t know about the -- didn’t even think about the thing coming up [gestures to indicate a swelling coming up on his forehead], got up, wanted to kill him straight away. F S [laughs] J S Had to get out me bow and arrow and let him have it. [laughs] M S How come ye’d end up on opposite sides in games? Just randomly like? F S That’s just the way it was. J S Yeah, well -- Yeah, and -- F S Brothers usually separated. J S In things like that, yeah. F S Because like we didn’t think it through but like if we didn’t separate then it could become something else. J S Yeah. F S It could be family A against family B.
