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 RC: Have you ever come across any theatre superstitions in your time? JH: Oh yes plenty you know theatre is full of superstitions. I suppose you know most people involved in theatre for any length of time would be aware of them and it’s not that they are particularly Irish in nature or in Cork for that matter I think they are just in theatre generally. So there are the usual ones, you never whistle you know it’s bad luck that’s what we’re trying to avoid. We are trying to avoid the bad luck but you never whistle in a dressing room and if you do you have to go outside the door, turn around 3 times and then come back in. And I’ve had to do that (laughs) many times because you just forget you know especially if you're involved in musical and you might start whistling one of the tunes and everybody would go “Outside the door!” and turn around. So there’s that one the obvious one you’d never wish anybody good luck you always say “Break a leg”. I don’t know where that came from, I’m sure somebody knows but one of those things you just never do you know? You just say “break a leg”. The other ones that I’ve come across over the years would be that you never say the name of the “Scottish play” as it’s called, Shakespeare’s Scottish play. RC: Mmm. JH: No, no I won’t say it but it’s..I know why you don’t say that because I did read up on it and it’s simply that in those times when Shakespeare’s plays were you know being toured around in theatres that when they weren’t doing very well they needed a hit. They would always roll out the Scottish play because it was a guaranteed hit because people loved it and it was full of gore and witches and everything else. So they would always roll that out so it’s not that the play its self is unlucky it’s just that if you're doing it, it’s a sign that the theatre group or company isn’t doing very well so that’s why it has this tag of being an unlucky play. RC: But you still won’t say it. JH: Still won’t say it because I’m in a theatre at the moment and I’m not going to say it here but no you’d avoid saying that. What else is there? Trying to think now there’s a lot more. Oh, you never give…you give flowers to the leading lady but you never give them before the show, before the show opens because again it’s bad luck because if you like the leading lady hasn’t earned them at that stage. You would give them immediately after the show but never before because it’s bad luck. So there’s, there’s lots of things like that, that you just don’t do you know? And it’s not that I’d be in any other aspect of my life that superstitious but when it comes to theatre I just adhere to the traditions you know? And these are the traditions, so it’s part of what you do and I suppose it’s out of respect as well for the theatre traditions that are there and to continue them you know? RC: You would view it more as a tradition than a superstition maybe? JH: Well I suppose it’s mixed because again even though as I said for me it’s the traditional side of theatre. I still will you know if necessary go out and turn around 3 times and come back in. RC: Even if no one tells you too? JH: Even if no one tells me too you know I still will because theatre is you know that sort of profession where fear goes along with it and fear is an interregnal part of it. You know the fear of will I remember my lines, will I make a fool of myself or will it go, will it be accepted? So and that fear is necessary to have an acceptable performance, you need some level of nerves. So it’s an interregnal part of it and people involved in theatre just live with fear and thankfully it only relates to when we’re in the theatre but the fear is there and the traditions the superstitions if you like that raise their heads every so often are part of that. That if we don’t it this way then it won’t be as good as it could. The last show I was involved in it was funny to see backstage the people all had their little rituals you know and again it’s part of the rehearsal thing that we do. Everything is repetition, everything is getting it right down to the last detail and people had their little rituals where they’d have everything in its place in the dressing room and you know God forbid if you moved it you know that’s the place for it and that’s where it is. Then you’d have people walking up and down backstage pacing because that’s what they do just getting into the role. There are little things that you know are technical things that we need to do as actors before performance and part of that is trying to loosen up the face, the muscles in around the mouth so there are little exercises that we can do which sort of stretch the mouth into you know very contorted shapes at times and I remember one instant where there was an actor in the wings doing these contorted faces and the exercises and someone thought they were actually having a heart attack because it was so strange looking but these are the things unless your involved with theatre you do think they are very strange but anyone involved in theatre thinks it’s quite normal you know so it does have it’s own quirks but yea I mean even though we accept that the fear will always be there and should be always there we're still quite happy to do you know because it is it’s very fulfilling at the end of the day.

Title A name given to the resource Jim Horgan: Pouladuff, Theatre, Superstitions Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Description An account of the resource Jim (born 1960) grew up in Croaghtamore Cottages, Pouladuff. His father was a draughtsman with Cork City Council. He was also an amateur film-maker, who made films with Jim and his siblings as actors. Some films required significant splicing by hand. His mother acted in the community as a kind of unofficial welfare worker. Jim became a photographer and graphic designer. He later became a fashion photographer, shooting models for the Fidelma Supple Agency in Cork. As a graphic designer for Musgraves, he designed fliers by hand in the days before computers were used. He recalls the introduction of computers and new technology. As a teenager, he preferred reading to sports and made great use of the library. Croaghtamore Cottages had been built on the site of a market garden, and the soil allowed him to conduct some amateur archaeology; he found old clay smoking pipes. After leaving school he became involved in amateur drama and theatre, firstly with the Penny Youth Theatre; he was also involved with CAT (Cork Arts Theatre) and the Blackrock Players. He talks about theatre superstitions.

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 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.

Barrett family were caretakers. 6 GPs worked there and remembers 4: Dr Galvin (low-sized woman), Dr Jimmy Young (who played hurling for Cork), Dr Kiely (male), Dr Michael Cagney his family’s GP, delivered him and his brother at home. Waiting room was like church seats. His mother usually brought with him. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.01.41 - 0.06.06 </td> <td> Vaccination in the Dispensary Grattan Street Vaccination: his dad brought him. Front door was in Grattan Street. Queue of boys outside. None of the boys who came out looked happy, they all suffered from the fear and pain. Joe was about 8 years old. Instrument doctor had was like a branding iron for cattle or a bolt. The needle was the size of a nail. Dad held his wrist and arm very tight. His dad brought him for ice-cream afterwards. When he was 12 there was another round of vaccines and he was determined not to take them until he discovered they were like sugar cubes not needles. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.06.06 - 0.09.24 </td> <td> Fleas and Head Lice treatment Everyone had fleas and headlice, but some of his friends still deny that they had it possibly out of shame. Everyone left their doors open, as they had nothing to rob. Dads got paid on Friday night and there was a small party at the weekend- raspberry and crisps in the pub. Went to the dispensary to get prescription for head lice. When mother cut his hair she put it in newspaper and threw it in fire and you could hear fleas and lice banging. “Scabs and bits of hair here and there” You could see dead fleas and lice on the back of other boys collars in school. DDT “defestor” Mrs Shinnick? Pharmacist gave them a green bottle which smelled. The liquid burned the scalp. Fine tooth comb to get the dead lice out. The smell would last for hours. And in school the following day people would recognise it and know you had had lice. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.09.24 - 0.10.53 </td> <td> Smoking Doctor trying to get him to give up smoking Dr Jimmy Young (or maybe Dr Cagney) moved to a private clinic on the South Mall. Joe was smoking as a young teenager. If he was caught a neighbour would kick him in the arse before telling his dad. His dad never hit him but would put his hands on his belt which was sufficient threat. Dad brought him to Dr Young to be told how bad smoking was. And while he was telling Joe to give up cigarettes he was smoking a Woodbine cigarette at the time. People smoked everywhere except church. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.10.53 - 0.12.07 </td> <td> Dared to ask Garda for a cigarette Doesn’t drink or smoke now. Had to take a dare when asked by a friend. Friend dared him to ask a Garda for a cigarette. Garda kicked him in the arse. Walked like John Wayne for a week! </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.12.07 - 0.15.30 </td> <td> ‘Kick the Bucket’: hypochondriac ‘character’ in Dispensary A head cold was serious at times. Practically impossible to get a house call from a doctor. So they would be bundled up in sheets like a mummy and transported to the dispensary. Mother saw a man in the waiting room nicknamed “Kick the Bucket” because he was a hypochondriac convinced he was going to die soon. Joe saw him as he got older and went to the doctor on his own. Kick the Bucket died at 81 and the news spread faster than the fire at the Opera House or Jennings. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.15.30 - 0.15.46 </td> <td> End of Dispensary After a while doctors got their private surgeries and A&Es accident and Emergencies opened. The dispensary sort of dwindled out. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.15.46 - 0.16.42 </td> <td> Grattan Street injuries Playing as Children Lots of memories from around Grattan Street area. Born on Devonshire Street near Pat MacDonald Paints, and there was a big population living in the Marsh. More than 100 children playing on the streets around Peter Street and Grattan Street. Alleyways, where car parks are now, there were their soccer pitches. They counted 120 potholes in their soccer pitch, big enough to fall knee deep into. If you fell in you could twist an ankle or break a leg. Friends would lift you out of the way of the pitch but you had to crawl to the Mercy Hospital yourself because the match had to go on. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.16.42 - 0.18.59 </td> <td> Battles and fights with rival groups of boys Their rivals were the Coal Quay boys. Saturday evening they would raid the Coal Quay for the left over rotten fruit. They had timber palettes set up as a barricade and after 12 o’clock mass on a Sunday the Coal Quay boys would come. (had to go to mass otherwise someone would tell the Presentation Brother or you parents. Joe did miss a few) Battering match would start. Rotten apples. Soggy bananas. Tomatoes were the best. No stones. Whoever ran out of ammunition first you had to run away. 30 guys running down Coleman’s Lane would be easy targets. But the Marsh lads could spread out on Grattan Street. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.18.59 - 0.24.29 </td> <td> Halloween skull as Jack O Lantern from Tomb in St Peters There was no real fighting just wrestling. Maybe some fighting with firsts. No kicking someone in the head. Boxing with community centre against Mitchelstown. Joe couldn’t hit a small boxer and they had to stop the fight. Around the same time it was Halloween in St Peter’s graveyard all the tombs and headstones were in the centre not along the side. They were able to get into the tombs and went in with a match and were surrounded by bones in the dark. Didn’t need pumpkins they decided they would get a nightlight scandal, buy matches from Mr Barry and get a skull from the tomb and scares girls. Heard something moving in the tomb one night. His dad was a postman and he had a big torch but Joe could never find it when he wanted it. Always bring cigarette butts out of the tomb. Used safety pins to get the most out of the cigarette. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.24.29 - 0.26.24 </td> <td> Cigarettes and getting money from empty bottles 8pm in the evening and at 8am the doctors and surgeons left or arrived at the Mercy Hospital, and they could’ve smoked in their offices at the time. Doctors sometimes threw away a cigar butt. Sometimes the children followed a doctor for 10 minutes and he might not throw the butt away! As they got older they went to Mr Barry’s shop and could get 2 fags (cigarettes) and a match for an empty bottle of Lucozade, which they could get from the Mercy Hospital. All the glasses were returnable at the time. They decided to take more bottles. 2 bottles would get you 4p four pence and you could go to the pictures (cinema) for 3p thruppence (three pence) and have money left over for cigarettes and a match. Tanora bottles from Jennings. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.26.24 - 0.31.03 </td> <td> Fishing for Money trouble with the Bailiff Dermot’s Cake shop on Adelaide street best cakes and creamy milks straight form the cow. Decided to take up poaching to get some money. Lots of mullet and salmon in the river at the time. Was rarely caught poaching because he could plank (hide) them at home within a few seconds. Sold them to Burns on Douglas Street, the Uptown Grill in MacCurtain Street (which must have lasted 60 years) the woman there said to bring over any more because they’re so fresh the blood is still hot in them! Mr Hurley the bailiff caught him occasionally and took his fishing rod and reported him to his mother and tell her to send Joe over to collect his fishing rod. He’d ask which rod was his in a room full of confiscated rods. Joe’s was the cheapest “Black Prince” but he’d get a more expensive one. Needed money for cinema and chips. Best two chippers: Hayden’s on Shandon Street and Kiely’s on Maylor Street. Wrapped in newspaper, lots of vinegar and salt. Tastiest part was to squeeze the vinegar out of the newspaper even with the dye running in it. Slogging apples down the Mardyke selling to woman Dooney Dawney. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.31.03 - 0.34.24 </td> <td> Money & Sweets: Selling fishing Rod & tricking shopkeeper Sold the rod for money to an angler and bought a cheap rod again. He was a well-known angler on the Lee. Good anglers and fairly good anglers but luck plays a big part. Ahern sisters owned a shop a Sheare Street (Sheares Street). Penny bars and sweets ‘blackjack’, ‘cough no more’, ‘macaroon’ (Erinmore tobacco). Asked for penny bar that was up high so she would have to climb up and they would take a bar from the lower shelf. They once took it in turns to ask how much a bar was even thought they were all a penny and she eventually banned them all for life from the shop. It took them a year or two to get back on good terms. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.34.24- 0.35.55 </td> <td> Safety of City in Past, Making floats for fishing, Social & Income Inequality Never any trouble when growing up. Joe’s 2nd eldest son is 38 lives on Northside, daughter on the southside and eldest son still lives in the Marsh. His children would say the Marsh was a great place to rear children. Where the Woolshed Bar [on Sheares Street] is now used to be Woodford Bournes the wine makers. And on the corner Paddy worked the guillotine to make ‘the corkies’ corks for the wine bottles for Woodford Bournes. Joe’s dad was a friend of Paddy & “they used have a drink together”. Joe would go to Paddy for bits of cork to make floats for fishing. He would bore a hole through the cork for the fishing line. “so we got everything for nothing”. Even got clothes from Coal Quay for very little. Some of his friends deny that they ever wore clothes from the Coal Quay. Joe thinks there was no in between either you were rich or you were poor. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.35.55 - 0.36.45 </td> <td> Story of Man with nothing worth stealing Remembers old man second-next-door-neighbour and there was someone prowling around his house. He had nothing worth stealing only a transistor radio which everyone had so there was no one to sell it to. This neighbour shouted out “come on in if you want something. I have nothing and you’re welcome to half of that!” </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.36.45 - 0.38.50 </td> <td> The Marsh today: Families vs Students Joe’s son Michael would still love to raise his children in the Marsh area, even with the volume of traffic. Joe thinks the Grattan Street area cannot take anymore offices or traffic. He says that the HSE have many of the buildings. Joe is lucky as he owns his own house. Married a Coal Quay girl Breda Dineen. There are plans to build student accommodation with 350 rooms on Grattan Street where the Munster Furniture and Hardware was. Joe says he will sell up and leave the parish if that is built. It will break his heart to do it but he can’t put up with any more. Talks about Edel House being discussed on the radio. And thinks there were a lot of “undesirables” in there. In recent times they were warned to behave themselves on the streets and Joe thinks that they do. He thinks that as well as genuine cases there are people looking for houses. Joe would like the HSE to take some buildings further out in areas like Montenotte, Model Farm Road and the Lee Road. He thinks that people who work for the HSE live in these places so won’t choose them for buildings to provide services. As a result buildings and services are put in the city centre. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.38.50 - 0.40.25 </td> <td> Shawlies and booming trade on Coal Quay South Main Street, Castle Street, North Main Street when he was a child was booming. Joe’s grandmother was a shawlie. Joe’s wife re-enacts the shawlies. Joe remembers vermin everywhere on Coal Quay especially on Monday morning. Near where Bodega is now where Clayton Love’s used to be, the Loft Carpet is there now shawlies could trade in there too. You could trade indoors but you paid more to be out of the rain than trading outside. Joe’s grandmother traded under the clock and only sold fish- mackerel and apples. You’d be surprised how many ‘lords and ladies’ would buy their fruit and veg in the Coal Quay because it was fresh with mud still on the cabbage brought in by farmers on horse and cart. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.40.25- 0.41.15 </td> <td> Ryan’s Pub on North Main Street and sleeping Farmers Mary Ryans bar many people went in there in the mornings for a ‘pick me up’ to keep warm. Farmers would abandon the horse and cart to go in there. Most horses would know their way home even if the farmer had too many “nips of Powers”. The farmer would fall asleep in the back of the cart and wake up in Blarney or Ovens. Joe would jump on the back of the cart without the farmer knowing and go out the Carrigrohane Straights which was the countryside then. Then they might swim in the Lee Fields sometimes in their clothes. ‘We were young, foolish but happy’. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.41.15 - 0.42.05 </td> <td> Food, Shoes and the Pawn Weren’t getting T-bone steaks at home. But they had potatoes, vegetables and homemade skull (bread). Was never hungry. Mother would get remnants of lino from the Munster Furniture and Hardware and cut them for insoles for their shoes. They had good shoes for going to mass which you had to take off straight away at home to be sent to Jones’s Pawn on the end of Shandon Street. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.42.05- 0.43.30 </td> <td> School Violence and good teacher Hated St Joseph’s School because always got kicked in the ankle or had his toe stepped on or a clatter on the back of the ear for not being able to spell. Left there and went to St Francis School and the entrance was from North Main Street by Bradley’s Supermarket or by Broad Lane beyond the dispensary. Learned more in last two years in St Francis from lay teachers than he did from St Joseph. Teachers may have scolded them but never hit them. “Anything you don’t understand ask me” the teacher told them. Joe was watching the clock for when to leave, and watching the tides to know when the tides were bringing back the fish. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.43.30 - 0.44.50 </td> <td> Changes in the Marsh for families: safety & shopping Joe’s son would love to live in the Marsh to rear his children. Couldn’t let them run around on the street with the traffic. But they would have Fitzgerald’s Park and close to Mercy Hospital. 5 minutes from 3 different supermarkets. Sometimes hear people singing or shouting coming back from the pub. The neighbours come to watch. Only incident he remembers in 36 years is that a few car mirrors were broken. Grattan Street is off the beaten track despite Washington Street being so close. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.44.50 - 0.46.15 </td> <td> Food or not at School Not given food in St Francis School but given food in St Joseph’s in the morning “to toughen you up for the beating you would get in the afternoon”. Cocoa and creamy buns in the morning. A few years later they cut back to scones which weren’t the same! One time Joe didn’t get cocoa and a bun because his dad had gotten a promotion. And it upset Joe that all his friends got it. At the age of 10 or 11 he was in St Francis “the Rowdy Boys College”. St Peter and Pauls School was before Joe’s time. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.46.15 - 0.48.17 </td> <td> Food and Cooking Homemade skull or loaf of bread. His mother would make the bread. And nine times out of ten it would turn out right. the Hills were the biggest population of their aunts and cousins. Across the road from them was nanny Hill. Joe would get his dessert there. For school lunch he’d go home and get a sandwich with soup in the winter and diluted raspberry. Cheese sandwich- “poor man’s meat”. Very lucky to get a ham and cheese sandwich. When going back to school he would pause outside his house no 9 Devonshire Street. Across the road was 34 Nanny Hill’s house and she would bring over the heel of homemade skull plastered with blackcurrant jam which he’d eat on the way back to St Joseph’s on the ‘Dyke [Mardyke] only 5 minutes’ walk, but took him 10 or 15 minutes because he didn’t want to be punctual. He would get a punch from a brother for having a ring of jam around his lips. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.48.17 - 0.49.40 </td> <td> School beating by Presentation Brother and boy’s father’s revenge There is a [Presentation] brother who is now married and living in Grange with a son and daughter. Joe would call him names if he ever met him again. A friend of Joe’s spent three nights in the Mercy Hospital after a beating from this brother. He made him take down his trousers until he only had his Y-front underwear on and beat him there with a four-foot bamboo cane. He was lying on his belly in the Mercy. There’s a black fire escape in St Joseph’s which is still there. The father of that boy had the brother hanging over the fire escape. People were screaming. And Joe and others were hoping that he would drop him. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.49.40 - 0.51.39 </td> <td> Relief after school, Priest Friend assisting the Marsh Community Joe’s life began when he left that school because the fear was gone. He was able to concentrate in school then. In St Joseph’s the teacher was only interested in teaching 4 or 5 smart guys and the rest were punch bags. When Joe was 21 he had as good a job as any of his peers. The brothers were sadists he says. Thinks it took 5 years to become a priest and 7 to become a brother. They were young men who had never seen life and mostly put there by their parents. A retired priest, friend of Joe’s, ‘an t-athair Ó Murchú’ who was the priest in St Peter and Paul’s and is now in Belgooley. Joe goes down to him once a week on a Sunday and they bring him a creamy cake. When people were fighting for things in the parish he supported them, even when they weren’t agreeing with the HSE. The car park where Munster Furniture is the HSE were talking about putting a multi-storey car park there 30 years ago which was diverted to Dunnes Stores Car Park. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.51.39 - 0.53.03 </td> <td> The Marsh Community object to multi-storey carpark People in the Marsh chained themselves across Grattan Street to stop trucks coming in to build a multi-storey car park. But they told the Gardaí in advance so they were on their side and they had no trouble. Joe knew the sergeant well and they used advise them the best way to have a peaceful protest and yet stop everything. Joe has many other memories but feels a little bit under pressure because of the recorder. Other things that they did ‘fighting for their rights’ because they could see offices and buildings going up that they opposed. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.53.03 - 0.58.30 </td> <td> Problems with multi-storey car park and Student Accommodation in the Marsh Was in a meeting with the Council and Paul Moynihan from City Hall explained what was happening. The council own so much of the car park and building to right of Munster Furniture and Hardware. So if the council don’t sell these to the new developers there won’t be enough room for the student accommodation. Joe doesn’t have anything against students but object to their parties which have aged some local residents. Thinks in the past students didn’t behave how they do now. Joe & his wife decided they’d leave if the student accommodation is built, they don’t mind whether they go to the northside or to the southside, but somewhere on a bus route or somewhere near the city. Joe says he’s getting emotional because he always swore that he would die in the Marsh. Joe would like to see a small 5 or 6 storey hotel being built instead and there’s space for coaches. Or family housing being built. They named out other places where student accommodation could be built eg. The Good Shepherd building across from the Lee Fields and Joe was told the students would have so far to walk because they would be high-end students. Joe says the students behave like riff-raff when they are drunk. He was told the accommodation would have security. Joe knows one of the security men for the student accommodation on Lancaster Quay and they are behaved inside the complex but outside there is no control. Joe fears that students will be drinking in doorways in the Marsh or outside on tables which are being built for them to study on. Joe said that if they are 320 high-end students they will have cars and nowhere to park them, and they will have more money for alcohol. So Joe said the riff-raff students would be better! Joe can’t believe a walk from St Anne’s to UCC is too far. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 0.58.30 - 1.04.41 </td> <td> Sicknesses past and changes now People died from diseases which no one knew what caused them. Some diseases that were killing people have simple cures now. Joe is more concerned about sicknesses today including insects like ticks and leeches. They would go to the dispensary for medication and prescription. If anything was too serious they would send you to the A&E but first get you to sign a form saying you had visited him so that he could get paid. Lots of measles. Chickenpox. Mumps used to be a killer disease especially for men as it could make you impotent. If you went to get medication from the Dispensary you had to bring your own empty bottle. Completely different attitude from doctors now. Might have been given tablets even if there was nothing wrong with you. People who were sent to St Anne’s because of a drinking/ alcohol problem for a few weeks but never came out. Joe didn’t get a clip in the ear growing up but he did do it for his children. Joe used to drink and just wanted to sleep after it. He thinks that women today wouldn’t take the abuse that women used to put up with. One man who went to St Anne’s was signed out by his niece years later and he was afraid of the double-decker bus and went back in of his free will to St Anne’s. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.04.41 - 1.06.53 </td> <td> Issues with HSE Services in the city Centre Joe hopes HSE look elsewhere for offices rather than in the city centre. Methodone clinics around Cork Joe was told need to be in the city because they won’t travel for it which means it needs to be near Grattan Street. There’s a Community Garda. But Joe and his wife have not seen a Garda on the beat for three weeks. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.06.53 - 1.09.04 </td> <td> Work of the Middle Parish Community Centre Joe and others including George [Patterson] do their best to keep the Middle Parish Community Centre going. Narcotics anonymous rent out a room upstairs. Alcoholics Anonymous, Gamblers Anonymous. There’s been no vandalism. Joe saw a man he knew going to Narcotics Anonymous outside La Verna near St Francis Church and he shook his hand because he was proud of him for trying to give up. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.09.04 - 1.26.27 </td> <td> Experiences as an alcoholic and trying to give up Joe describes himself as a “dry alcoholic”. Joe hasn’t drunk for six years. He didn’t realise he had a drink problem because he was never aggressive or barred from anywhere. It took Joe years to realise he was unable to home after work without first going to the pub. And that he was having a few pints in a number of bars and that this was adding up to ten pints a night. He decided eventually that he would stop. If someone had told him that he had a drink problem he would have been “highly insulted” and thought he could stop drinking any time he wanted. He went to a few AA meetings and they didn’t suit him. He used to smoke 55/60 cigarettes a day while driving articulated trucks long distance for 35 years all over Ireland. He gave up cigarettes and thought it would be easier to give up alcohol. Ten years ago he gave up alcohol for 2 years. Alcoholics’ Anonymous saying is ‘one day at a time’. He was down in Inchydoney Hotel with his family and dogs. He was tired after lots of driving to Dublin, Wicklow and delivering salt to Killybegs. He kept track of his progress being off alcohol and appreciated the support of his wife. He went into the hotel and had some coke. The Munster Final was on. While waiting at a busy bar for more Coke he saw two men he knew drinking stout. And he ordered a pint of Murphys stout after he saw them. He made ten attempts to leave the pint there, but it overpowered him. He had a devil on one shoulder and a guardian angel on the other. He usually drank a pint in four sups. He went close to the toilet for his first sup in case he was sick from not being used to drinking after two years. He ordered a half-pint of Murphys. He felt fairly content because he felt he could handle the alcohol now. He had two pints of Beamish in Forde’s with a friend of his on a Friday. And slowly he was having more pints and on Wednesdays as well as Fridays until “the drink had a hold of me again”. He knew he couldn’t handle whiskey. Collapsed three times due to liver poisoning. He had to come home from Turkey when he collapsed, his doctor said they saved his life. He wasn’t allowed to eat or drink for 4 days. His GP was waiting for him at midnight when he arrived home in Cork and brought him to the Mercy. He told Joe he was lucky because his liver function was only at 52% working. It took 17 hours for his liver to get to 53% working. After a few weeks he started drinking again. He collapsed at home one morning unconscious for 20 seconds. GP took tests. Went to the Regional Hospital and put in intensive care. Dr Seamus O’Mahony was his liver specialist out there. Seamus told him not to waste his time if he was going to keep drinking and not to come to him without his wife because she would tell the truth about his drinking. Doctor asked him how many units he drank and Joe asked to speak in pints not units. Joe said 20 pints. The doctor said that’s a lot to have in a week. And Joe’s wife said that’s on a Saturday! Two drinking sessions on a Saturday. He was getting liver function tests on a regular basis and his liver was getting stronger. Joe used to give up alcohol two days before going to the doctor but didn’t realise that alcohol makes triglycerides in the body which take days to be broken down. Joe used drink cans of beer at home when his wife was away. He would vomit it up after two ‘slugs’ or gulps. And then he would try to drink it again. He said that you have to admit it to yourself that you have a problem. He realised that if he didn’t stop he wouldn’t see his five grand-children grow up. He has never been happier than he is now sober. His children can ring him at any time for a lift. And his children can depend on him. Joe still takes one day at a time. Joe knew a guy who was 33 years sober and he went to London and started drinking and was knocked down by a bus. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 1.26.27 - 1.28.44 </td> <td> Family living in the Dispensary building Grattan Street Barrett family who lived in the Dispensary had children who are still alive living in southside who would be older than him. “they were all genuine down to earth people”.

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 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.

I didn't know where we were going. I'll tell you one thing, it was something else. It was a thrill to see it. The development where the houses were being built and all that. I was supplying the tiles. All them tiles of the fellas made over. Kent Road now, part of Kent Road was done. That's where you're going now isn't it? JF: No. Clark Road. JC: Clark Road. Same thing anyway. They weren't there at all. They only came later. I'm only going as far as I can think. JF: You're grand JC: The hill there now was built up as far as the cross only. We were continuing on down that and we were stopped by the green there. I was witness to this myself now in the 'Gurran' (Gurranabraher). From living in the Northside and going to school in the Northside. I was more interested then in this side of where we were going to live. We came out and we had a horse and car bringing out our furniture. They came along after and they had three boxcars. We used to have right craic over that. Three boxcars. That was the way life was like at that time. I'll tell you one thing. Do you know something about it? It was a great way to be. All the people were very down to earth.

Went to eason hill because his father and uncles went there. Had a teacher called Kate O’Conner beautiful soprano. She trained him to sing, his first step into music. Mother also very musical, concertina and harmonica, all Irish songs. Living on Sheares street, many good musicians there. In his building alone, 3 men went on to lead bands, 1 with the Barrack Street band, another with the army band and John himself. The 3 didn’t get on that well. Ex-service men from the 1st world war had a band in the ‘marsh’, amputees and other disabilities. A man called Hurley, thought in the workmen’s brass and reed band, and he saw the potential in john’s ability. Music teacher in the Fianna, but the teacher was no good. His friend Christy Gough suggested to join the Cork City pipe band down in Fr Mattew hall. Christy’s father was a piper. Tadgh Crowley was the teacher, again john was singled out for his ability to learn quickly. Himself and Christy start fianna band, asked the chairman of Sinn Fein (Jerry Cronin) for the instruments from the old fianna band down in Tomas Ashe hall, Volunteer Band not too happy, but they got the ok from the chair of Sinn Fein. Went for about 12 months with both bands. Recorded an album with the Cork City Pipe band in the old Goal. Very happy with that, Tadgh said that all that matters. Heard the recording in a chip shop (Julio’s) on north main street. When he went up North for competitions all the bands talked of that recording. Alfie(Kennedy) Christy, Tony Donovan, Jerry Hurley, Billy Halesy, Eddie Williams played in that band too. Of all the bands he played in it had the best players. Its sad, after that band ceased to be after Tadgh’s death, all the good player went to Carriagaline. Became pipe major of Band against his wishes, all the best player gone to Scotland. 1962: with some players from the carraigaline band and the blarney street band john won the All-Ireland grade 2 John walked out of the Carraigaline band because of the way they treated the city boys. So he reformed cork city band, with member from blarney street band. Talks of his love of traditional music, especially from the north. Speaks of his children’s musical abilities, one packed it in because of johns hard line of teaching. His son Paul won world and European championship in bass drums. Regrets being so hard on children, but loves then and their talent. They used to playing banjo and guitar a 2 in the morning, the wife would want them to stop but john would tell her ‘never stop a musician’. </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;"> 0.15.16 - 0.17.35 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm 0.19cm;"> Talks of his wife Tilly.

One time in Musgrave park when the All-Ireland pipe championship was on, Isaac sleeping on his shoulders. Isaac and jack Lynch sent letter to each other. Jack was a Hurling Idol of johns, they lived near each other when younger. A lot in common. Carlo Bergonzi wrote asking if they could pay for Isaacs digs, 25000 a month.

Set up the Ballyphehane pipe band 1980, but didn’t like the regiment of it. Won some championships, but fell out with them didn’t like the behaviour. They had the ability but they didn’t have the drive. About 6 of them were brilliant. Disappointed that there are some people in Ballyphehane that could teach the band but don’t. Thought in Cobh for a year or 2, really good students but had to give it up because his son, who drove him, moved to Kerry. </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;"> 0.27.40 - 0.35.15 </td> <td style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:0cm 0.19cm;"> If he had to live again, no piper would touch him. ‘I would do it for myself’. Spent his time teaching, was could at it, but disappointed that those he thought didn’t carry on the mantle. Christy said of Tadgh to John, ‘he’s a dud teaching you’ John said ‘he is the man that enlightened me’. Christy gave him the evaluation of the scale, has it upstairs still, it’s like a jewel to him. Best thing that did for him. Billy Hallesy, great piper, no patience to teach, fell out with him because he pointed out when billy played bad, didn’t speak for 4 years. Natural ability teach given from God. Brought a friend to help him teach, he couldn’t handle the students, no patience. Tim Keogh in Dublin played a selection, asked for his thoughts, and John told that he could have been better. They ended up being great friends.

Had to work in the Hickeys cement factory on kinsale road. Had to sweep the place, suffocated with dust, then home to paint. All the stemper paint dripped of the walls.

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

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

S.H: It could actually cause two trains to collide or something. J.C: Ah no, no, ‘twas only in a shunting-yard, you know. I was unlucky anyway. S.H: How would they get into the shunting-yard? J.C: Oh sure I mean coming from school ‘twas a shortcut going home. S.H: Oh I see it’s not even fenced off.

S.H: You didn’t have to have time-off work or…? J.C: No, no, I didn’t. S.H: Do they have an enquiry into an incident like that?

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.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com M W: That’s very good. Ok [pause], the crooked steeple, you're probably sick of telling people about the story of the crooked steeple. J F: Well it’s a good story, now Chris Southgate who is a heritage architect in Cork and has done some work for us. He got a cherry picker up and got a good look at it and assured me it was just, weathering on the weather side, after it was built, you know, the prevailing wind and rain washed and watered out on one side and so it tilted in that direction but they are lots, and I am happy that it is reasonably safe, we had a bit of work done back in 2010 just before the President came and some beautiful photographs were in The Echo at that time. [Pause] Chris tells me it’s quite safe so that’s good, all sorts of stories that the workmen back in 1861 had a row with the architect, could happen so he did it on purpose or even and then they were drunk and that when the scaffolding came off and on the whole, the sign of their drunkenness was all there. The worst story maybe I shouldn’t even tell you this, but two gentlemen, I was working away in the Church grounds and the garden just dressed in ordinary clothes, and two Cork men came in just to see the church, and they said to me, I won’t try a Cork accent because I come from the North but they said you know the boy that designed this church, he hanged himself in that tower and I said don’t you tell me that. It was the first time I ever heard that and they were convinced, what it, I never heard that story before and I would deny it, what I think they were mixing up was the tragic story about Christ The King Church down at Turners Cross, where they was a over, a huge overrun apparently, and the story is that the architect, did take his own life. M W: Lynch is that his name, was it? J F: It may have been yeah. M W: Yeah, yeah, yeah. J F: So I think they mixed up the two stories but -- M W: Yeah. J F: So we have a crooked spire but it is quite safe and there is no, as far as I know, no tragic story with it. M W: Okay, I like the idea of the guys been drunk or maybe just doing it to spite the architect or something kind of, there is something very Cork about that. J F: Well that is there is no documentary evidence for that. M W: Yeah I know, there is always a rational explanation which is not as amusing or entertaining. J F: Walter Burrell whose, who used to be a seamen’s missionary on the docks of Cork, he had these wonderful slide shows and I was there with him once in a National School showing slides about the ships and the docks and he says, quick as a fire there is the crooked spire of Trinity Presbyterian which represents, represents the crooked mans nature, he said, of human beings and I thought well Walter that’s as good an explanation as any, a good reminder [laughs] so.

Title A name given to the resource John Farris: Cash’s Stores, Presbyterians, Social Class, Trinity Presbyterian Church, Unitarian church Subject The topic of the resource Cork's Built Heritage Description An account of the resource Minister Farris talks about the history of the Trinity Presbyterian Church, York Street. He talks about the present church building, which was established in 1861. He comments on its crooked steeple and the stories associated with it. The site of the church may once have been a drovers’ field for animals brought into the city. Some of the congregation continued to worship at an earlier church in Queen Street (Father Mathew Street), a decision informed by distinctions of social class.

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.

JOL: [pause] Well I suppose em if you were to start with a blank canvas and you were to geographically pick good spots to have a live venue it would be a good spot because you’re close to the college, it’s practically in the city centre, so you know from that point of view, it would have been in a good spot but em you know in terms of, I suppose, you know, putting on my promoter’s cap, you know, you would be looking for feeder bars and things like that, because back then definitely when we were running Freakscene, em maybe one third of the people that would turn up would be people on a given night who necessarily didn’t intend to come, they would just be having one or two drinks and have a taste for more, and there was no late bars, so you know they, they’d then choose which nightclub were they going to go to, so there was lots of good bars relatively near you know, so they would have all been feeder bars for the want of a better word and stuff so, yeah, it would have been a good location alright.

Title A name given to the resource John O'Leary: Sir Henry's Subject The topic of the resource Sir Henry's Nightclub and Music Venue Description An account of the resource John O’Leary describes life as an insider of the alternative music scene in the 1990s. This interview focuses largely on the clubs (Sir Henry’s on South Main Street), characters, events, and bands throughout this period. In this interview, John O’Leary relates his memories of attending and then working within the alternative music scene in Cork in the 1990s. He discusses how a club named Sir Henry’s would have had alternative music nights, one of which was called Tight, on a Friday and a Sunday night. He attended University between 1990 and 1994 and states that these nights would have had a ‘free in’ for ‘penniless students’ early on a Sunday night. He describes how students and other frequenters of the night club would generally have been drinking at other local pubs before coming to Sir Henry’s, a phenomenon he later describes as ‘feeder bars’ in relation to his own experience DJ-ing. He states that everyone, back then, would have wanted to be in a band and that the ‘you were just made’ when Dave Fanning played your demo on the radio. Sir Henry’s would have been known, on a Friday and Sunday, for playing all alternative music such as The Smiths, The Pixies, Nirvana, as well as Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth and so forth. Later, when the Tight on Friday Night closed, he and a few friends set up their own night called Freakscene and John relates some of the ups and downs of that experience as well. Specifically, what attendance was like when they first started out, what records would fill or clear the dance floor, and the general relationship with management and security at Sir Henry’s. He also describes getting some live acts, such as The Fall into the venue for a show.

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 JS Well the working day was from half, was it eight o clock till five and eight o clock till four on a Friday, but you had to go in Saturday morning then eight o clock till twelve, that was your normal day, we had a forty four hour week or something like that, you know, and well you’d have to be there on time because bad time keeping was a no, no, you know. 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’.

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.

Em alright one thing I ask everyone, this sounds a bit odd or strange, but is there any superstitions, myths, legends, anecdotes, anything associated specifically with this building? JM Well there, there, there, there’s none that eh that we know of except of course we’ve heard the usual, that it’s haunted and so forth. But there is one thing that I can attest to and so can Lorraine eh who eh started basically I s -- I s-- I was the first personally I recruited the staff then and she was one of the first recruitees that we had and now she’s the administrator of the Centre. But when we were, when we were due to open to the public, we had a very strange eh, eh -- and I can absolutely attest to it myself, I’m a fairly sceptical individual in relation to paranormal and so forth but we came in, in one morning and there was a half-moon of eh Victorian pennies. Em the strange thing about this was that they were inside the locked door, so you have your door, and you have your glass doors and they’re both locked, and we have no idea how they got there and they were all dated you know eh they were all obviously Victorian but they don’t relate to any particular date in the history of the church and we’ve no idea how they got there, none of the-- no idea. So Lorraine would be, would be probably thinking that some ghost dropped them there or whatever but we just were, there was no break-in, no nothing, and they were just there in a in a in a semi-circle or half-moon.

Title A name given to the resource John X Miller: Cork Vision Centre, Marriage, St Peter’s Church, Supernatural, Subject The topic of the resource Cork's Built Heritage Description An account of the resource John talks about the history and present role of Cork’s Vision Centre. The building was originally St Peter’s Church, completed in 1788, and sold into private hands in 1949, after which it fell into disrepair. It was restored by Cork Corporation and went on to house the Cork Vision Centre, which opened in 1998. He explains that the Centre hosts art exhibitions and other cultural events, as well as acting as an unofficial tourist office. He comments on the restoration of its monument to Thomas Dean, Mayor of Cork. He recounts a supernatural story to do with the Centre.

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.

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 C OC: Do you remember what kind of clothes people would wear. Say your parent’s generation? JL: Well I suppose the women always had shawls. Moreso on the Northside than the Southside. They were ideal for keeping children warm. They kind of wrap them up in that. Were the men were concerned I suppose the suit of clothes would be used on Sunday for going to Mass and that would be put back into the pawn then again on Monday. Pawn played a very important role in people’s finances. But they were dreary places. Where we went to school there was a pawn broker next to the school and any time you’d go in there, there was always this smell of kind of musty clothes. C OC: Was that on Blarney Street? JL: That’s right. C OC: They must have been peculiar places to walk into? JL: But people used them all the time. Now saying that next to the pawnbroker there was a bar, and it was known as The White Eagle, and then like he’d have been one of the first Polish people to come to Cork. He was married to a Kerry woman and he was well known, and he was known locally as Mr K. I always say to people, ‘do you remember the Pole that lived in Blarney Street’, and people forget it. And he came over after the Second World War, and settled down. There wasn’t that many Polish people in Cork. C OC: No, there wouldn’t have been. JL: And what he’d done. He painted the bar the same colour as Poland with the eagle and all. So we had that little bit of influence of European just by him being there. He was a small man. He always struck me like Hitler because he had a small little moustache. His son went on later to win the lottery , when the lottery started in 1986. There was thirty six numbers in the lottery, and he had a son called Stefan, and above in Scruffy Murphy’s in Dublin, they formed a syndicate and when it came up to a million they were able to do every accumulator and they won it. C OC: No way! Jeez. JL That has nothing to do with the past but like it shows you the Pole coming to Cork’s son won the lottery.

Title A name given to the resource Joseph Lane: Gurranabraher, Milk and Cake Shops, Pranks Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Description An account of the resource Joseph grew up in Gurranabraher. He remembers three pawnshops of Cork. When people left Ballymacthomas to move into new corporation houses, they left their old houses behind, still complete with furniture and fittings.

There was a milk and cake shop in Cork until the 1970s. He remembers living conditions: without washing machines or fridges; and having an outside toilet. There was a prank they played called “Thunder up the alley”, where this lit paper in people’s drainage pipes. He remembers one of the first Polish people who came to Cork, after the Second World War.

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 K.A : I had a very good impression of Cork people, and I think I made good friends straight away when I came here, so it was really great time, and I love Cork people. L.C: Did you have any difficulties with the accent? K.A: With the accent, with my accent? L.C: The Cork accent. K.A: Oh the Cork accent. Well somebody, well I met one Australian boy recently in Russia, actually so you see Russia is changing, and he said ok my friend is living in Ireland, and I said oh she’s living in Cork, and I hear Cork accent when I speak to you, so I probably have Cork accent myself already. It’s the only accent I heard really in this country, because I didn’t live in other places. So I accept it, it’s like my own language now, my own accent. L.C: Can you think of a common phrase. K.A: Common phrase. L.C: A common Cork phrase. K.A: Good luck, it’s not good luck, it’s good luck. And what else, em I don’t know are there are Cork phrase, I really should think about it, I can’t remember straight away. L.C: We can come back to that later. Are there any places in Cork that give you a similar feeling to places maybe at home in Russia? K.A: Similar feeling, actually I’m living in Bishopstown in Model Farm Road, and other side of the Model Farm Road is a forest if you know. So I go for a walk nearly every weekend, sometimes I walk to my college in the morning through this forest, I just go to Leeside, and that’s real beautiful place, I just love it, and it really remind me of the place where I was growing when I was child, yeah, it just really remind me.

Title A name given to the resource Karina Abdulbaneeva: Art, Russia, London, Spirituality, Nature, Nationality, New Year’s Day, Religion, Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Cork; Ireland; London; Russia Description An account of the resource Russian born Karina Abdulbaneeva, talks about coming to Cork from London in 2001 and her impressions of the smallness and accessibility of the city. She describes the helpfulness of Cork people and the spirituality of the country in which she feels she has been welcomed into and helped. Karina was born in Moscow, Russia and came to Cork in 2001. She has two children and lives in Bishopstown. She is an art teacher. Karina grew up in an apartment in a nine story building, with around five hundred other families, which was a common living situation in Russia. She describes a strong sense of community. They children played games in the local forest. Karina loved ‘the secret’ which involved collecting beautiful items like coloured paper or flowers and burying them in the earth. They would only be shown to special friends. Karina started school at seven. It was the custom there that children as young as four could be left alone at home. Karina spent hours drawing, which nurtured her passion for art and led to her eventually becoming an art teacher. New Year’s Day was the day to celebrate. They didn’t recognise Christmas. Another holiday was the eight of March, International Women’s Day. They had no religious education in schools so there was no abeyance to religious holidays or rites. Karina describes Russia as being closed when she was growing up. They didn’t meet any foreigners until she spent time abroad with her parents. Karina came to Ireland, via London, she says through ‘fate’. She was first struck by the smallness of the buildings and streets and how spiritual Ireland is.

Copyright of the Cork Folklore Project. If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com CC Kay what is your earliest memory KD It must have been about when I was around two and half to three years or even a little bit before it. Apparently I wander off from my home to my Grandmother’s home which was about a half a mile away. I stayed with her until she died and then my aunt; my mother’s sister reared me then until I was around twelve. I then went back home to Friars road to live again CC What is your most vivid memory KD The day that Suttons took fire on the South Mall, I was in town shopping and I met up with a fireman from the Cork Fire Brigade to inform that I was now on duty and whatever I had with me to bring it with me, and leave it where I was and come to the South Mall and help out the extinguishing of the fire at Suttons. CC So what was your exact occupation at the time KD A housewife CC Right ok, where were you born KD I was born in 20 Lower Friars Road in Turners Cross CC Have you lived there all your life KD I lived there all my single life, sorry that’s not true, I was born there in 1942 and I stayed until I was about two, two and a half until I wandered off to my grandmothers and I was there in Evergreen St. until I was about twelve, thirteen. Then I went back to Friars Road until 1966 when I got married June the 25th 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 Kay Dunne: Childhood, Opera, Camogie Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Description An account of the resource Kay was born in 1942, in Friars Road, Turners Cross. Her mother died when she was a toddler and she went to live with her grandmother and was afterwards raised by her aunt, before moving back to the family home when she was about 12 years old. She lived at home until she got married, in 1966, after which she and her husband lived in Belgrave Avenue on the Northside. Her husband was in the Irish Army. In 1981 the couple began to manage Sundays Well Boating and Tennis Club, in The Mardyke. She talks about her love of opera, both collecting recordings and attending live concerts. Kay was involved in the auxiliary fire service and was in a guard of honour for President Kennedy during his visit to Cork in 1962. (She earlier comments about viewing a fire at Sutton’s warehouse on the South Mall in 1963 and being asked to help.) As a child, she developed a great interest in playing camogie, and she is still involved in the administration of the game. She recalls her playing uniform and changing her clothes at the side of the ditch.

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.

K.O'C Well I remember my mother now and my aunt when they were young, they used to come up Gurranebraher for their walks, you know their walks of a Sunday, maybe their walks in the evening after school, and it was only countryside, all fields. And then I remember when we were very young my mother would take us up what’s Knocknaheeny now do you know Knocknaheeny up there and I can see her she’d be in the field knitting: they were all knitters: all the mothers were great knitters, the little jumpers and the little dresses because it was cheaper to knit. And we’d be jumping over the ditches going from one field to the other so you see that was countryside to me when I was young, and it’s all built up now, and this place was countryside to people sort of in my mothers area and era, and it’s all kind of built up now. But it was lovely when we came up and no matter where we went, what’s Churchfield now is all fields, so we’d be over around Churchfield and we’d have great laugh, there’d be little ponds and you’d be gathering up the grass, and you’d be putting it into the ponds so that the water would rise you know. Even Sun Valley Drive down there now that’s how we would used to go and come to school, it was all fields, there was one big, big slope and we’d be running up the slope and running down and running up the slope and you might be an hour or two late coming from school and you would be murdered because your dinner would be burnt in the oven or in the pot, but it was lovely. Then we used to go out Fairhill – that was all countryside – and farmers, it was all kind of farming land really: you’d be looking in at the cows grazing, and we used to go . . .

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.

These were people for every solid medical reason they could give blood, for, they were willing to give blood when an awful lot of people weren’t and we were turning them down, and unfortunately to this day it still hasn’t been resolved.
