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).

If you wish to access further archival material for this interview or other interviews please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com JF I took the top of off Parliament Bridge a couple of years ago when I was with City Council. The bridge was built in 1816. Now, what happened was, there was so much stuff, cables and gas and water pipes going over the bridge, eventually the bridge had to be reinforced, so we had to show the stone of the arches and my God, how they did those, quarter-of-an-inch joints went perfect. But, all the people that worked in those, they must have been there for weeks, months, years. But, in order to hold the bridge in position, you’ve got to build out from it, buttress walls, to hold the bridge. Because if the bridge opens, the whole lot falls down. In that, now, Parliament Bridge, it goes down nearly to the South Mall. What it basically is is mostly brick and stone, to hold the bridge, in case it slipped. The other side went up Mary’s St. So, we took off the top of that, we had to replace some of the parapets, because ‘twas broken and we took a lot of gas, there was about sixteen cables crossing the bridge. They were there from the time of the trams, so we’d to take those out of it. The ESB had a couple of cables, which were working. But, we had trouble with a gas pipe. When they made the bridge, they couldn’t cast the pipe in a kind of a curve, so when they came up so far with the pipe, then they made a flat box, about nine inches, about four foot square, with a mouth to accept the pipe on both sides. That’s how they got over the bridge, because there’s a big hump in that bridge. So, and then, after I finished that one, I went up and did MM There’s a lot of history there so, when you opened it up to see the different ways that, the techniques that the masons before used. JF Oh, [sighs] telling you, they must be marvellous people, and I mean, there had to be a big arch put in for that, a timber arch, put in, and then, so as they put in the keystone, they could take away the rest, but ‘twas as perfect as the day it was done.

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).

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).

You had to be there on time because if you weren’t there, the men that were employed to tend you would be standing around, so you were always there on time, to be quite honest with you. And the first job I did was laying blocks as I did in this place called Tivoli restaurant, which is now where the entrance is to Merchants Quay. So, in my lifetime, it was built, knocked and Merchants Quay built on it, and it was a couple of store, stories high, it was a restaurant downstairs and it was something else then whatever on the other level. But one of me jobs then would be to collect the billycans, the cans to make the tea. So, one of the lads would say, ‘John, ten o clock’. You’d get the bare ten o clock till twenty past, so you always sort of had your tea near where you were working cus you’d get that few minutes extra waiting for the foreman to come up to you, you’d, so, I’d be sent off down maybe with four or five billycans on sticks and they’d have this thing, you’d bring a gauge of tea, which was tea and sugar mixed, and you’d put it in, I’d go down to the big boiler, oh god there were huge, berto boilers like, but they were old fashioned berto boilers, and you’d fill the can and I’d go up and I’d tell them all to come on, I have the tea, tea. So, we’d go in, we’d be sitting on a plank, sitting on a block, but always put something underneath your backside, if you’re sitting on the block, or you’ll end up with piles, that’s what we were always thought or anyway, it was true too because it was very uncomfortable. So, you’d have the tea, twenty past, I’d get the job then maybe of ‘John go down just rinse out the cans and the cups’. And I’d just go down to the nearest tap, wherever there’d be water, I’d wash out the stuff and have it ready for the one o clock, so I’d go back then, I’d be in between two men and I’d, first I’d be spreading for him and then I’d be spreading for the other lad, and then they’d say, ‘Come on, start laying a few blocks there now’. And I’d be laying blocks and of course like it was, even though the blocks were heavy, the blocks were heavy, way heavier then, than they are now, but as I said I was a big strong boy and I just loved it so much, I would have stayed there, if they said you have to stay till midnight tonight’, it wouldn’t have passed me a thought, I’d have stayed, because I came from the Lower Road, so I’d be up to the job in five minutes because from the Lower Road to Patricks street, like up past the station, I’m there. And then I was very lucky with the men I was with because there was a lot of brick going into the job and straight away they put me on brick, which was very unusual, but they said, ‘Look come on you’re going doing brick now’. And I took to it like a duck to water. 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 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).

It’s really important and not only that I’ve managed to save a lot of the records of the plumbers, the carpenters, the electricians, all these things were left in bags inside in carpenters hall, just abandoned and left there and the next thing for the them you know yourself a black plastic bag the next thing that was going to happen to that was it was going out in a skip.

Title A name given to the resource Jim Fahy: Masonry, Apprenticeships, Emigration Subject The topic of the resource Stonemasons: Occupational Lore: Description An account of the resource Jim Fahy is a stonemason who was interviewed in 2015 by Michael Moore from the Cork Folklore Project, also a stonemason. Jim Fahy comes from several generations of stonemasons on both sides of his family. He describes the ‘closed trade’ system, which would have given him entrance into the profession due to his family lineage. When the system ‘opened’ he was required to do formal training despite the fact that the mason’s traditional rule gave him the right to enter without formal training, through apprenticeship. He started his apprenticeship or training in 1975. He vividly describes the hard working conditions and the skill of the stonemason. He describes the union customs such as ‘paying their script’ and being brought to ‘the green table’ in the mid-1970s until the Recession in 1981. He laments the current state of the profession and fears that properly trained tradesmen will soon become extinct.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com I think probably the most distinctive thing about Quakerism is that it is based on the premise that everybody is equal. Religion really equal and that we don’t need any kind of intermediary between us and God or the Spirit and, for that reason, back when Quakerism came into being in the 17th Century they decided they didn’t need priests or Ministers or any kind of Pastor and, essentially, the whole structures of how Quakers do things are based on the idea that we can have that direct contact. So the appearance of a Quaker meeting on a Sunday morning, Quaker meeting houses are very different than what most people are used to in terms of churches or temples or synagogues or whatever. The building will be very simple, very little adornment and there’s no programme at all. There’s nobody leading the service. We just sit in silence for about, mostly silent for about an hour. Occasionally somebody may get up and say something that they feel moved to say and, in principle, we believe that sometimes when this happens that person is actually moved to say something by the spirit of God and so, in some sense, they are acting as the Minister of the meeting during the time that they get up and speak. So that’s what a Quaker meeting is like. That’s the form of worship that Quakers use, mostly silence with a bit of sort of inspired ministry from a number of people during the course of about an hour. All the work that would normally be done by paid clergy or priests or Ministers is done by committees essentially, by officers who are appointed for a few years and then they may step down and somebody else will be appointed to do the job.

So even though this is the area that looked damaged the entire thing had to be from the other side the floor boards lifted and all the nibs prepared. This had fallen in one piece but as it hit the floor it smashed considerably so.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com My familiarity with Fota House is really more to do with Fota gardens, I did a course there, on the history of Irish Gardens and I also became familiar with the frameyard garden, the frameyard was really part of the production garden, so what people forget about country houses, is that the house and the garden were one entity, they were not separate entities, the garden provided the fruit and vegetables for the family and for some of the staff, and the garden also provided, a supply of flowers in bloom for every month of the summer, essentially. Now it was the head gardeners job to provide army after army of flowers in bloom, also to provide, soft fruit, for the desert section of the families dinners and for the guests, so the house and the garden really were two sides of the same coin, now when we think, of gardens and gardeners, we have an image of some guy raking up leaves in a field, the gardener in a country house had the most important position, aside from that of the butler or the leader of the household staff. Now the gardener, occupied quite an unusual position because to be the head gardener was to occupy a fairly elevated social position, it was a way, in which young men, usually who would have started as gardeners boys and then became foreman, journeymen, foreman, and then head gardeners, it was a way for them to elevate their social position but really to be head gardener was to be a very important person, because you liaised with the master of the house particularly in the Victorian period, the leaders of aristocratic families competed with each other in raising exotic plants and flowers and the head gardener worked quite closely with the head of the household to achieve success with garden specimens, very often these were quite exotic and the reason they had exotic plants and flowers, was because Ireland was then nominally part of the British Empire and Irish and British plant hunters went out and brought back seeds and specimens, which people then competed to bring to bloom, or to bring to, bring to success.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com I did a project about six years ago on the Jewish community in Cork and it was a subject that was very close to my heart because my maternal grandparents lived in 31 Geraldine Place in the heart of what the local people affectionately call Jew Town. As David Marcus said in his autobiography Buried Memories, no cartographer actually has it listed as Jew Town on a map of Cork but it’s a distinct place known to everybody just like Ballyphehane or Blackpool or anywhere like that and very close to my heart so I began writing about the Jewish community up at the Folklore Project. I focused in on the history of the Jewish people and their presence in Cork City and some prominent members of the Jewish community who contributed so much so much to Cork life because the Jewish community in academic, economic, social, political circles contributed greatly to the fabric of Cork life and society and also a little bit about their history as they dispersed after the War from Cork.

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.

That’s the kind of place it was like, it was amazing. But my very first lesson, was antique drawing, and the college then, see the school, as it existed then, was really a 19th Century structure in all its aspects practically, in terms of the structure of teaching, well that’s not, that’s not fair on my extraordinary tutors actually, but the kind of educational structure that was there, was kind of 19th Century.

Title A name given to the resource Maud Cotter: Crawford Art Gallery, Crawford School of Art Subject The topic of the resource Built Heritage: Description An account of the resource Maud explains how she came to study at Crawford School of Art in 1972. She praises her tutors but notes that many of them were fired when a new teaching regime was brought in to support a new Diploma qualification. She says the college had an air of freedom and informality, where the boundaries between art school and gallery, and between professional artists and students were blurred. She talks about rooms in the gallery that attracted her and returns to the topic of her teachers.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com The womens prison which is in Sundays Well and to the west of the Good Sheppard Convent, em, again very, very clear childhood memories of walking there from Ballyphehane, walking as far as Jail Cross and ironically passing the old county jail which is the building at the western side of UCC campus now or the Jail Cross side of it, em, always fascinated by the fact that it was closed and while one could go up the steps to the two storey building eh in the centre of the wall at the front and been able to look in and see so far into the yard and yet been aware of so much space behind it and the building itself never really getting I don’t remember getting a clear view of the building. But my mother had great devotion to a little girl who died very young known as little Nellie of Holy God and she would part of our visits over into that direction, our walks over would be to pray at her grave, em, I was always drawn by the high walls of the prison and wondering what was in there or how would I get in. Years later a chance came in my teens when myself and a friend happened to be walking up that way during the summer holidays from school. Now to the left of the steps up to the main building at the centre of the front wall eh there was an archway and two metal gates, now I had known for instance that 2RN which was the Cork Broadcasting Radio Eireann back in I think started in the late 1920s called RTE or 2RN as it was called broadcast locally from there for a couple of years and the PNT were using the front section of the yard as a depo as well, but the gates were open and this was my first time been able to see in and there was a truck entering so curiosity getting the better of us, the truck drove in, we hesitated a few seconds and then ran in to have a quick look around but thinking we had a bit of time to spare we went in around the yard and went in a good distance from the gate when the next thing we heard one of the gates closing, turning around and between the urge to get out and not be seen we froze for a moment, totally undecided on what to do but thankfully the men that were after parking the truck had to go back into an office and we legged it out of there like sprinters. Em the building as far as I know, the design of the building is similar to I think what would have been built in the famous Dartmoor prison in England at the time, and its interesting because I was on holidays in Devon last year and there’s a big debate because I think its going to close as a prison and there is a big debate in Devon as to what, could even be a national debate really, as to what to do with the building but to the best of my knowledge there was a kind of a standard blueprint for prisons built I think, I think that was opened in 1820 around the same time as the old county jail over at Jail Cross at UCC. Em and I’m not sure about that one because it is demolished now but I think the building in, in the Cork Prison, or the old women’s prison would be a similar design to the one at Dartmoor.

Title A name given to the resource HSE Orthopaedic Hospital Oral History Project (d'Orthopaedic) Subject The topic of the resource Ireland; Cork; Gurranabraher; Healthcare; Occupational Lore: Description An account of the resource This collection project was a collaboration between the CFP and the Cork North Community Work Department, Cork Kerry Community Healthcare, Health Services Executive, on the occasion of the development of St. Mary’s Orthopaedic Hospital, Gurranabraher, as a Primary Care Centre. This hospital was know throughout Cork City as 'd'Orthopaedic'. The Memories of the Orthopaedic project focused on a cohort of nine interviewees who were associated with ‘the Orthopaedic’ as former staff (including medical and housekeeping), patients and locals who grew up near the hospital in Gurranabraher. The interviews, all but one of which were carried out by Joanne McNamara of the Health Services Executive, took place between April and September 2017. The project resulted in the publication of The Ministry of Healing, St Mary’s Orthopaedic Hospital Cork: An Oral and Historical Record (by Tomás MacConmara for the CFP), and elements from the interviews were incorporated into an open-air display linked to a Slí na Sláinte (Path to Health) walking route on the new campus. The project was celebrated and the book launched on 12 April 2018 at the CFP Outreach Hub. The CFP and the HSE subsequently entered into a two-year partnership, the 'Oral History for Health' project that carries out oral history in health care contexts (2019-2020), the first strand of which is the HSE Grattan Street Stories project.

Title A name given to the resource Peter Sargent: Orthopaedic Hospital, Working Life, Healthcare Subject The topic of the resource Ireland; Cork; Gurranabraher; Healthcare; Occupational Lore: Description An account of the resource Peter moved to Cork in his early twenties when he had got a job as a typewriter mechanic. The job involved a lot of travel which did not suit him once he got married. Peter left this job for a position at St Mary's Hospital as a theatre attendant. After a few years in this role, Peter successfully applied for the role of anaesthetic technician. He didn’t administer anaesthetic but he set it up what the consultants would use. He would also set up the patient when they arrived and get them ready and then the nurses would arrive. They were all female nurses. He mentions that the sister frowned on male nurses. Peter talks of the hierarchy in the hospital and that certain staff could not talk to senior consultants. He tells a story of being reprimanded for calling a nurse by her first name. Peter then talks about union activity at the hospital. He mentions that Gerry O’Sullivan who was the cook at the hospital was the shop steward and that Joe O’Callaghan (later became Lord Mayor of Cork) would handle more serious cases. He recalls the social aspect of the job and mention the bars that they would frequent. Peter kept up with a lot of his collegues after retirement.

Initially he worked as an orthopaedic register but from 1978 he was consultant. He remembers thinking St. Mary’s was a very progressive hospital but the layout wasn’t suitable for the time because it was built with a small budget in 1938. He says foundations were built for 9 separate blocks for different stages on infectious diseases. John tells us how in 1949 changes began that would result in the hospital becoming an orthopaedic hospital. He says that the hospital brought in many polio sufferers after an outbreak in 1956. Similarly, John says, the hospital was very relevant when tuberculosis was more abundant. John says that the staff were highly trained and recounts more of the history of the hospital circa 1955. John recounts his busy weekly work routine between a number of hospitals including St. Mary’s, St. Finbars, St. Catherines Hospital (in Tralee), Edenburn (outside of Tralee). John recounts his daily routine which varied from day to day including: surgeries, ward rounds, clinics, discharges and paperwork. He recalls in the mid 1980s there being a major financial crisis and how their budget was cut substantially. John tells us that a senior surgeon retired and wasn’t replaced for 8 years which made things very difficult. John remembers Grove House when it was a home for nurses who would live there during their working week and go home for their days off. John recalls that the grounds were very well maintained by a full time gardener who would come to work in his horse and cart and would leave it to the rear of the administration block. John remembers various orthopaedic clubs from England and Scotland who would come to visit, and similarly who they would visit over the years. He says these links were as a result of the training they would have to do in England to get fully qualified. John recalls major cutbacks around 1993 and says that 300 patients were sent by helicopter to Belfast for surgery. He says that this would have been very expensive. John says that at that stage they were in the process of building a new operating theatre and that 1.6million was set aside to tackle waiting lists. He remembers that tenders were sent out and that the lowest tender came from the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast.
