Triskel Arts Centre begins the new year with a series of “Cork nights” featuring Cork writers. Copies of books by these authors will be for sale on night but events are FREE.

A to Z of Cork by Youghal native Tom FitzGerald

“An A to Z of Cork”

A number of Cork figures will select their favourite gems from Tom FitzGerald’s wonderfully entertaining and informative story of Cork. These include Councillor Kieran McCarthy, Poet Gerry Murphy, Cork City Librarian Liam Ronayne, Irish Examiner’s Marc O’Sullivan, Cork Evening Echo Editor Maurice Gubbins. Aidan Stanley from RTE will be MC for the evening.

The publisher is Youghal native Tom FitzGerald. “The first book in this series was “An A to Z of Youghal”, says FitzGerald. “That book was very well received in Youghal by advertisers, book-sellers and readers. The people of Youghal proved to be very enthusiastic and supportive for what was a new format in local history books. Now, there are several other titles in production, including another Youghal book.  “An A to Z of Cork” was published last December 2009.

As with the Youghal book, the content is presented alphabetically as a series of stand-alone items that readers can dip into. Each item deals with an aspect of the city’s history or one of its remarkable people who have made history, either at home or abroad.
