  • Mairtin Mac Con Iomaire (MM) John Clancy (JC) Jimmy Rock (JR)
    Edited Interview with John Clancy in Cathal Brugha Street (22/1 & 1112/2008) Mairtin Mac Con Iomaire (MM) John Clancy (JC) Jimmy Rock (JR) 1. MM: Where and when were you born? 2. JC: I was born in Dublin on the 3rd December 1952, in the Navan Road and I was adopted aged three by a family called the Bannons. The extraordinary thing about the Bannons, was that George was Church of Ireland and Connie his wife, Catherine, was Roman Catholic and when they got married it caused terrible consternation in the family, in fact her family wouldn't talk to them, it caused terrible friction in the family. Now I have to say he was an absolute gentleman. His career, he was a sergeant major in the British Army and he fought in the Second World War. He came back from the war and went to work in Maguire and Pattersons. He was a maintenance fitter by trade, very highly skilled. 3. MM: The match people, they were Quakers, weren't they? 4. JC: That's right, and when I went up to live in Barr na Coille, I was fostered with another chap called Charlie Warner, no Charlie, nobody knows where Charlie is now. The Bannons had one son Kenneth who would have been about seven years older than I; he would have been around ten at the time. There are several things I remember about the experience, it was my first time ever in a car, and it was my first time ever seeing dogs, they had greyhounds and collies.

As a coalition of over 400 youth sports organizations, we are calling upon your leadership to provide economic stability to the youth sports sector which has been dramatically disrupted by this crisis. Youth sports offer a multitude of positive benefits to participants, including physical, social, emotional, and cognitive perks, that extend far beyond the playing field. • Some 60 million youth in this country are registered participants in organized youth sports programs.1 • Youth sports is an estimated $19 billion industry.2 • Sports participation has a greater association with lower school dropout rates than any other activity.3 • Physically active adolescents are more likely to like to go to school, graduate from high school, and have a higher GPA.4 • Regular participation in sports can improve health factors and prevent obesity, chronic diseases, and other health problems.5 1 National Council of Youth Sports.

    Edited Interview with Matt Dowling in CERT House Amiens Street (19/2/2004) Mairtin Mac Con Iomaire (MM) Matt Dowling (MD) 1. MM: When and where were you born? 2. MD: I was born in Inchicore. I was actually born in Crumlin, Stanaway Road in 1945. My Dad worked on CIE railway and moved to Inchicore when I was about six years of age as it was quite near where my Dad worked. 3. MM: So he worked in the works? 4. MD: Yeah, he worked there in the (Inchi core) works, alongside a lot of men but when I was about 14, I was supposed to go to James' Street (school). I was the oldest of a big family. There was seven sisters after me so there was no way I was going to James' Street for six years and money was short enough. You just knew yourself, it wasn't as if somebody ever told you. So I took the option of going to technical school, V.E.C., in Inchicore. Well, I certainly excelled there. I suppose because I love Irish, it helped me through all of my exams. You were given top marks in Irish and it pulled you through on your average score. 5. I remember one day, going home and father was working with this guy and his son happened to be a waiter in the Russell and he said to me 'There's a job going in that hotel, do you want to be a chef?' Well my uncle had been a chef in England, and was a chef and been in the British army and had come out and worked with Henley on Thames in the regatta there and he always had plenty of money, big cars, fast suits and every time he came home, we got money off him so, it certainly looked very promising to me.
