Until Sunday September 13th. 2 August 7 – September 3, 2020 120 years of one family’s service to Ballinascarthy comes to an end with retirement of Eily O’Sullivan McCarthy’s shop in Ballinascarthy, run by three generations of the same family for over 120 years, closed recently to the great sadness of the local community. Located in the heart of the village, this shop has given tremen- dous service to the people of Ballinascarthy and surrounds down through the years. The shop’s owners witnessed great change and historical events during this time; both World Wars, the War of Independence and tough times en- dured by so many people, especially during the Emergency years and before Ireland joined the Common Market. They also observed the rise of the motor car and the subsequent demise of horse power, and the life-changing benefits of electricity, which came to the village in the 1950s. Eily O’Sullivan operated the shop with her aunt Anne and uncle John until 1999, and has continued running it on her own until its’ closure this year.

  • Miscellaneous Notes on Republicanism and Socialism in Cork City, 1954–69
    MISCELLANEOUS NOTES ON REPUBLICANISM AND SOCIALISM IN CORK CITY, 1954–69 By Jim Lane Note: What follows deals almost entirely with internal divisions within Cork republicanism and is not meant as a comprehensive outline of republican and left-wing activities in the city during the period covered. Moreover, these notes were put together following specific queries from historical researchers and, hence, the focus at times is on matters that they raised. 1954 In 1954, at the age of 16 years, I joined the following branches of the Republican Movement: Sinn Féin, the Irish Republican Army and the Cork Volunteers’Pipe Band. The most immediate influence on my joining was the discovery that fellow Corkmen were being given the opportunity of engag- ing with British Forces in an effort to drive them out of occupied Ireland. This awareness developed when three Cork IRA volunteers were arrested in the North following a failed raid on a British mil- itary barracks; their arrest and imprisonment for 10 years was not a deterrent in any way. My think- ing on armed struggle at that time was informed by much reading on the events of the Tan and Civil Wars. I had been influenced also, a few years earlier, by the campaigning of the Anti-Partition League. Once in the IRA, our initial training was a three-month republican educational course, which was given by Tomas Óg MacCurtain, son of the Lord Mayor of Cork, Tomas MacCurtain, who was murdered by British forces at his home in 1920. This course was followed by arms and explosives training.

Cork. Ageing highway structures present a challenge throughout the developed world. The introduction of bridge management systems (BMS) allows bridge owners to assess the condition of their bridge stock and formulate bridge rehabilitation strategies under the constraints of limited budgets and resources. This research presents a decision-support system for bridge owners in the selection of the best strategy for bridge rehabilitation on a highway network. The basis of the research is an available dataset of 1,367 bridge inspection records for County Cork that has been prepared to the Eirspan BMS inspection standard and which includes bridge structure condition ratings and rehabilitation costs.
