Matthew BlunderfieldHOST
Tuomey needs little introduction in this room, so I'll keep this short.
Matthew BlunderfieldHOST
He was born in Tralee in 1954, grew up in Dundalk, studied architecture at UCD, and on graduating, went on to London to work at James Stirling's.
Matthew BlunderfieldHOST
In 1988, he founded O'Donnell and Tuomey with Sheila O'Donnell, who's here with us tonight, a practice that has given us the Irish Film Institute and the Gallery of Photography in Temple Bar, the Glucksman in Cork, the Lyric in Belfast, the Saw Swee Hock Student Center at the LSE, and the V&A East Museum in London, amongst many others.
Matthew BlunderfieldHOST
He's made six appearances at the Venice Biennale as the inaugural professor of architectural design at UCD, and in 2015, jointly with Sheila, has won both the RIBA Royal Gold Medal and the Brunner Prize from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, each given for a lifetime's work.
Neil PrendevilleHOST
He's 23 years in service today.
Neil PrendevilleHOST
His father's from Inishan and his mother's from Tralee, but he was one of the first firefighters into the Twin Towers on September 11th, 2001.
Neil PrendevilleHOST
And on that fatal morning, Danny was actually off duty at home having breakfast.
Neil PrendevilleHOST
He'd gone into the shower and heard his wife screaming at the television as the first plane hit the tower.
Frank ConnollyGUEST
The baby had been brutally killed, stabbed, his neck broken, stabbed 28 times and found lying on the rocks within two or three days of his birth.
Frank ConnollyGUEST
As we know, the death of baby John led to the investigation into a woman called Joanne Hayes, who lived 50 miles north of Caer Savin in Aberdeen in near Tralee.
Frank ConnollyGUEST
And Joanne Hayes and members of her family, following interrogations by members of what was known as the murder of the heavy gang or the murder squad or the technical bureau of the Gardaí, after questioning the Hayes family, got confessions from Joanne Hayes that she had killed this baby and with the help of her brothers and other family members had thrown the body over the cliffs in Sleighay in the Dingle Peninsula and the body must have floated back to Cahersavine in the Avira Peninsula and that was the reason.
Frank ConnollyGUEST
That's how baby John was dead.
Frank ConnollyGUEST
And the woman, it was basically a witch hunt of a young woman.
Frank ConnollyGUEST
All
Harry BrowneHOST
right, so you've got the guards getting confessions, multiple confessions in Tralee for something that couldn't have happened.
Frank ConnollyGUEST
Exactly.
Paul SmithGUEST
So Mary O'Brien was her name.
Paul SmithGUEST
And then she was put into a workhouse, pregnant in Tralee.
Paul SmithGUEST
And then we don't know then sort of the gap of how she ended up in Dublin.
Paul SmithGUEST
But...
Carl ChinnHOST
like a
Paul SmithGUEST
workhouse.
Paul SmithGUEST
Yeah, it was a workhouse as much as I know in Tralee, you know, which is awful, you know, and it's very sad to think, you know, what sort of a life.
Paul SmithGUEST
I do, my cousin Patrice said that my mum said to her that when she did go to visit her, a couple of times she didn't recognise her own daughter.
Danny ManningGUEST
Oh, it has a tremendous memory.
Danny ManningGUEST
As I've often said, and my many friends here in Kinsale know well, and my family, my mom was from Tralee.
Danny ManningGUEST
from over in the kingdom, as we would say, right? And my father was nearby in Inner Shannon, a few kicks down the road, as you said here.
Danny ManningGUEST
And I, as a child, myself and my brother Patrick and my family, we'd be here often during the summers, and basically from the time I could walk, I would come into Inner Shannon, Kinsale, we have family all throughout Cork.
Paul McCormackGUEST
And we have the O'Rourke family, firefighter Kevin O'Rourke from Scotstown.
Paul McCormackGUEST
Michael Lynch from Tralee was a firefighter.
Paul McCormackGUEST
Moira Smith.
Paul McCormackGUEST
Moira was a police officer.
Tom IrwinHOST
It's 40 minutes up the coast from, from Doonbeg, which is the Trump course in that corner.
Tom IrwinHOST
And then if you cross over the Shannon River and get right into the Ring of Kerry, you then got places like Waterville, and Ballybunion, and Tralee, uh, and Hogs Head.
Tom IrwinHOST
Um, so it's a very, very special sort of p- place to play golf in that corner of Ireland.
Tom IrwinHOST
Um, the golf is wild, and it's kind of exposed, and it's rugged, and it's a very specific thing, I think, to that part of the world.
