‘Meeting People Where They Are’: 50 Years of Community Work

The Cork Folklore Project is proud to help document the 50-year legacy of the Cork North Community Work Department (HSE). On 1 December, we recorded the first in a new interview series with Ronnie Dorney and Mags Creed, capturing their experiences in community work, their commitment to social justice, and the challenges faced in Cork over the decades.

More stories to come as we mark this important anniversary.
