Cllr. Kenneth N. O’Flynn has put forward a motion to Cork City Council, calling on the Council to put in place a walk of fame on Cook Street to Commemorate the famous Corkonian’s who over the years have contributed to the reputation of the City both locally, nationally and internationally.
Speaking on this the Northside Councillor said; “Cork has a rich heritage and can boast an impressive list of people who have contributed to the reputation of the City in various fields. For example of the top of my head I can think of several people fror example with Literature Frank O’Connor, with Sport Roy Keane and
Christy Ring in Theatre Joe Lynch in Politics Jack Lynch, with Music Seán Ó Riada and Cara O’Sullivan. While in Industry we have the two great distilling names the Beamish and Murphy Families and in Science, the mathematician George Boole.”
Cllr. O’Flynn believes that the project would not just offer a fitting tribute to these famous names but that it would also become a premier tourist attraction in the City Centre.
