A biographical dictionary of Cork

Tim Cadogan & Jeremiah Falvey

‘Local historians and genealogists will benefit hugely from a new guide to significant past Corkonians … A Biographical Dictionary of Cork is set to become a valuable resource for local historians. This book is an original and comprehensive look at some of Cork’s most important historical figures across a range of areas including politics, industry, sport and religion’, Gareth Naughton, Evening Echo.

‘A Biographical Dictionary of Cork is a book destined for a place on the bookshelves of anyone who wishes to understand the history and character of Cork. It is a ‘must-buy that is destined to settle arguments and it will serve to strengthen the position of the Cork wag who wishes to boast of the achievements of the natives and settlers of his local shore’, Diarmuid O’Donovan, Evening Echo.

‘Biographical dictionaries are always great, handy tools…[they] are always useful. This one will be as well', Peter Beresford Ellis, The Irish Democrat.
