Collins Barracks, Cork City, Cork, Ireland.

The room above is the officers Mess at Collins Barracks, in Cork City, Co. Cork, Ireland.  For those that know a little about Irish History this would list as an iconic location, now occupied by the Irish Defence Forces .The officers mess is adorned with fabulous paintings and other items connected with the location and its links to  the events of the uprising led by Michael Collins back in 1916. I was there to cover the opening of the Cork City Sports International Athletics Meet, which takes place in July in Cork City.  This cements my view that the Camera is a passport to all sorts of interesting places and people , a reason I enjoy press photography .
