Notes on the Gaelic League in Cork

Notes on the progress of the Gaelic League (Conradh na Gaeilge) and the Irish language revival movement in Cork. The author of the text is not stated. A portion of the text reads ‘It was the opinion of several sincere workers including O[sborn] Bergin … that a second branch should be open to the gen[eral] pub[lic] including ladies and therefore they started a branch called the Lee Branch in Pope’s Quay.

O’Connell Bridge and Eden Quay, Dublin

O’Connell Bridge and Eden Quay, Dublin

A view of O’Connell Bridge and Eden Quay, Dublin, in about 1960. The Corinthian Cinema is a noticeable landmark on the left of the image. Originally rebuilt after the 1916 destruction of this part of city, the cinema opened in 1921. It was designed by T.F. McNamara with internal alterations to the auditorium in the 1930s by Jones & Kelly. It was apparently given the name ‘The Ranch’ because of the number of westerns it screened. The Corinthian closed in July 1975 but in October of the same year it re-opened as a two-screen cinema called the Odeon. The cinema closed its doors for the final time in 1993. The building was finally demolished in late 2002 to make way for a commercial development.
