My Commentaries

10 October 2002: Drinking Murphy’s, instead of Guinness, is a small price to pay to see a week of great films in October [Having a Keane time in Cork]
17 October 2002: In 1912, people in Cork would have been much better off waiting 43 more years for the first Cork Film Festival than getting on an ocean liner for America [Popping my Cork]
