Ep.10 - A Passion For Pres

We have two men who hold an incredible passion for Presentation Brothers College Cork. UP first is Dan Donovan where he talks passionately about his time in Pres in the 1930's and 40's including detailed descriptions of Brother Connolly and Loyola and shares lovely sketches and appreciations of the teachers who taught him in those years, both. To close out the series and in such a fitting manner, is the man whose innovation to creativity and teaching, introduced podcasting to PBC. Caleb Sheehan sat down as he reflects on his time teaching at Pres, his absolute passion and love for the school and his outlook on life now facing MND. It is a very striking interview and perhaps shows more than any interviewee on the series, just how much Pres can mean to one person. This podcast is presented by PBC alumni George Hook and Ronan McAuliffe. It was produced by PBC teacher Éanna O'Loinsigh with Elaine Smith on sound and post production and piano composition by PBC student Liam Ring.

Ep.9 - Memories Of The Past, Plans For The Future

We hear from memories on the pitch with PBC rugby and in particular from one of the legendary figures of Pres, Munster and Irish rugby in the 1960's and 70's - the great Barry McGann who is also, as far as we know, the only Pres boy to line out against the Dutch football wizard, Johann Cruyff in a competitive international. We also revisit some sadder moments in PBC rugby history as Barry remembers Pat Barry and Noel Walsh recalls his death at Thomond Park in 1965. Ray Clarke who was present as a member of the Senior Cup team at training in Wilton on that fateful day in 1979 remembers Des Barry. To hear about the future of the school, Jack O Sullivan, Chairman of P.B.C. Board of Management reflects on his time at Pres while Michael Sexton outlines his role as CEO of the PBST and his vision for the school.

We hear some stories from those who had success outside of the school grounds, by those who had success in Cork and beyond. Musician Johnny Campbell recalls his time at Pres and his musical career touring Hamburg in 1966 with the legendary Rory Gallagher. Olympic swimmer Brian Clifford remembers representing Ireland at the 1972 Games while only 16 as well as his selection for the first Ireland Schoolboys rugby team.

Ep.7 - Culture And Cork

It's an eclectic mix of stories from society, culture, history and what Cork was like way back when. Firstly, we focus on a very interesting aspect of Presentation Brothers College history and indeed Cork social history: Pres and the Jewish community. We begin with a brief segment from Dan Cowhie as he recounts the Jewish students in his class in Pres in 1934 before moving onto an interview with David Goldberg who tells us about his father, Gerald, a Pres boy and the first Jewish Lord Mayor of Cork. We feature an interview with Fergus Finlay, a Pres student in both Pres Bray and Pres Cork who talks about Pres and his career as a political advisor with Labour and CEO of Barnardos. To close, we feature an interview with the late Kieran Clancy on his schooldays in Pres in the 40's and early 50's as well as his wartime memories and the pub trade in Cork.

Ep.6 - A Sporting School

It's not just rugby that the school is renowned for, given its stunning location on the banks of the River Lee, it was inevitable that rowing would play a part in the sporting history of the school. Dan Cowhie recalls sitting on Tivoli Docks watching regattas in the early 1930's. We hear from former principal, Michael Hennessy who was instrumental in the resurrection of rowing in Pres in the 1970's, 80's and indeed right up to the present day. Moving to the field, soccer in Pres and its long history is recounted by Noel Spillane while Larry O Neill tells us about his father Liam and Ken O Riordan talks about schoolboy soccer in Pres and Cork in the 60's. Another sport that would be inevitable considering the proximity to the Cork Cricket club, we hear about the great tradition of one of the oldest games in the school with reminisces from Noel Walsh and also Peter Dineen on a great Pres cricketer, his father Pat and finally we link back to cricket and Pres in 2024. This podcast is presented by PBC alumni George Hook and Ronan McAuliffe. It was produced by PBC teacher Éanna O'Loinsigh with Elaine Smith on sound and post production and piano composition by PBC student Liam Ring.

Ep.5 - Voices Of Pres

Let's take walk throught the school halls and hear from those who graced the classes with the voices of Pres alumni, men now in their late 70's and early 80's who reminisce on their time in the school but also focus on their lives after they left the front gates here on the Mardyke for the last time. We hear from former Lord Mayor Michael Ahern, a Pres scholarship student whose political leanings were fostered selling newspapers door to door in the poverty-ridden Marsh here in Cork City in the late 1940's. Entrepreneur, Michael O Connell, cornered the lucrative 3 stripes Adidas market in this country in the 1960's and recalls selling gear to the Irish rugby team from the boot of his car. Another incredibly successful entrepreneur and financial giant, Brian McCarthy of Fexco discusses his career after Pres. Finally to lands beyond the school, Father Gerry Murphy talks about his life as a Columban Father and his mission in the Philippines.

Presentation Brothers College celebrates 140th anniversary

PRESENTATION Brothers College, one of Cork’s most successful secondary schools, is this year celebrating its 140th anniversary.

The school boasts an impressive history, both academically and in sporting terms.

The all boys, fee-paying school is regularly praised as one of Ireland’s finest second level establishments.

The college was founded by the Presentation Brothers in 1878, at the South Mall.

Soon afterwards it moved to the Grand Parade and, in 1887, to the Western Road.

The present complex, on Mardyke Walk, was completed in 1985.

The school is regularly at full capacity, with 720 students as well as 60 teachers and staff.

Hard work from the students, mentoring from dedicated teachers and support from family, are all key to the success of the boys, said David Barry, principal of Presentation Brothers College Cork.

“We’re a community, first of all, we all work together which is one of the most important things,” said Mr Barry.

“As principal, I manage the day to day running of the school. We have two deputy principals, one for the senior and for the junior schools,” he added.

“We also have a great middle management team, year heads and fantastic teachers, who all work to the best of their ability to ensure the boys have the best education they can possibly have here.”

As well as an educational structure, Mr Barry said the school works to ensure the boys are also cared for holistically. 

“We have a really caring community, the boys are really looked after,” he said.

“We have a chaplain, two guidance counsellors, one for the senior school, one for the juniors.

“There’s also great student leadership within the school, which is great for student voice, an important aspect of the school,” he added.

“We have 6th-year peer mentors and prefects. It’s about giving the boys the opportunity to get involved.

“Once they’re happy, they’re able to learn,” explained Mr Barry.

Learning is certainly a key part of any school, but this is emphasised when that school is famed for its success at sending students on to third level.

“There’s an expectation and our aim is to always meet that expectation,” said Mr Barry.

“For us, we pride ourselves on the academic record in the school and there’s always that focus.

“We want the boys to thrive, realise their potential and for our record to continue,” he added.

“Many of the boys view third level as a natural progression and they work hard towards that.”

However, Presentation Brothers’ also boast a strong reputation in sports and extra-curricular activities such as debating.

“A large part of our school is extra-curricular,” said Mr Barry.

“We offer rugby, soccer, rowing, debating, GAA, golf and tennis, a wide range of activities in the school.

“It’s about giving the boys a wide range of educational opportunities, not just academic,” he added.

“They will thrive when they’re doing other things like sports as it opens their mind.”

The school has received national attention for its success on the rugby pitch.

In 1974, An Post issued two commemorative stamps to mark the centenary of the foundation of the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU).

The two stamps feature the same photograph, showing three Irish International players, Barry McGann, Colin Grimshaw and Donal Canniffe. McGann (class of 1976) and Canniffe (class of 1977) were both PBC boys, while Grimshaw was a Queen’s University, Belfast player.

“The students need something different, something outside of the academics,” said Mr Barry.

“Sport and extra-curricular activities give them the opportunity to get involved in the school community, experience new things and meet new people in other schools, whether that’s through rugby, GAA or debating.”

Appointed as principal just over 12 months ago, Mr Barry said it has certainly been a year to remember.

“The highlight was being appointed as principal and from then, getting the opportunity to work with the staff and students.

All you need to know for Cork City Marathon 2024: Road closures, routes, public transport and more

Cork City Marathon 2024 takes place this weekend - and whether you're taking part or not, there's plenty you should know before it all kicks off bright and early on Sunday morning.

Ten thousand people have registered to take part and early forecasts are looking good - promising a fair bit of sunshine with max temps of 19C in the afternoon. There are three races - the full marathon, the half and a 10km run - and each follows a unique route and has a different start time.

It's advised that all drivers steer clear of Leeside on Sunday as there'll be a blast of road closures and traffic restrictions throughout the city and beyond. And whether you're a marathon veteran or a first-timer, it's advised you read up on the event beforehand so there are no big surprises on the day.

You can find out all the info you need below:

Full Marathon

The 42km race will kick off at 8.15am Pana, where runners will head up towards Blackpool, around and down via Tivoli, through the Jack Lynch and on towards Mahon before heading back into town via Blackrock and Turners Cross.

Then, they'll peg it up to Ballyphehane, by the Lough, and do the last leg by going around Carrigrohane Straight towards the city, passing Mardyke walk, looping around to North Main street and finishing up on Pana.

Half Marathon

The 21km race will start at 10.15 from Monahan Road. From there, runners will head to the Centre Park Road where their track will merge with the full marathon's route. Then they'll head south by the N27, over to the Carrigrohane Straight and then finish up on Pana in the city centre.

The 10km race will kick off on Pana at 8:45 am and runners will start by going in the opposite direction of the full marathon. Their track runs down along Western Road before looping around by Sunday's Well and heading up towards Blackpool.

After that, runners will head south towards the city again and jog along the Lee up towards Camden Place - before crossing the river and travelling back to the finish line on Pana.

You can check out a full map showing each route - including water stations and toilets - below. Cork City Council also have an interactive map on their website here.

Race pack collection

Race packs, including runners' bibs and chips, must be collected during the official registration in Cork City Hall. They can be collected on Friday, May 31st (12 pm - 7 pm) and Saturday, June 1st (11 am - 6 pm)

Note: If you cannot collect your pack, someone else can do it for you with your registration form, barcode, date of birth, and mobile number.

Spectactors

Anyone looking to cheer on runners is asked to head to the following locations - just make sure to double-check you're at the right spot for the race you want to see.
