Thursday, 30th Knockanore Briefs
KGK Community Council. On Thursday last 23 August at the Palace Theatre, Fermoy, film buffs came from many counties and countries to pay tribute to a giant in the film industry. Frank Morgan, pho- tographer and film maker was born in Rathcormick Co Cork and went on to win all the international top awards in small film production. Sadly he passed away last year, and emotions were high in the theatre as many of his friends and colleagues recounted stories of their work with Frank during the many years of film making and photography. Frank’s wife Breeda received a standing ovation for her qui- etly spoken account of their years together. This was fol- lowed by the launch of the Frank Morgan Film Club, a de- serving tribute to a brilliant man. Gratitude was expressed to the organisers of the event, including Frank’s friend of many years, Andy Kelly of Kilmacthomas, whose ances- tors came from Killeenagh Knockanore. During the first public showing of Frank’s film, “The Promised Land”, the very large audience were enthralled for nearly an hour by the simple plot, brilliantly directed by Frank and just as bril- liantly acted by Knockanore man the late Jim Carrig, Bal- lyduff couple Geraldine and the late Bill Canning, Michael O’Riordan from Killeagh etc. The storyline concerned the attempts by an elderly farmer and grandfather played by Jim Carrig to make contact with his long lost son. Very little dialogue was used in the film, depending on visual cues to illustrate the plot, the sign of a true photographer. We may
yet see this film in Knockanore. Tallow Briefs

Nolan to Throw his Hat In The Ring
by SEAMUS WHELEHAN
An outspoken lo-
cal activist is taking a shot at politics in East Cork. Eric Nolan a local area representa- tive for the Labour Par- ty, has announced he is seeking the backing of his Party to contest the 2019 Local Area Elec- tions. The Convention to select a candidate to stand for Labour, in next year’s Council elec- tions, is set to take place mid-September.
The Midleton father
of three said some of the key issues he will tackle, if elected, are the con- dition of our roads, the
lack of housing, dog dirt on our footpaths and walkways, and strive to help increase tourism. Mr Nolan said being a Local Area Representa- tive and parent has giv- en him the desire to see East Cork thrive. He said the district needs a refresh of its public amenities, and he’ll be pushing for the com- pletion of the Midleton to Youghal Greenway. “Tourism is so impor- tant. We have so much to offer and so much to see. The proposed Mid- leton to Youghal Green- way could turbo charge tourism here. If elect- ed I’ll put huge efforts into driving this project on. It would provide a fantastic amenity for
residents as well. East Cork can become one of Ireland’s premier destinations. We should be aiming for no less” he said.
Eric, who served as
a SIPTU Shop Stew- ard for over a decade, is a member of Cork Airport Development Council and is currently serving a second term as a Director of the Dub- lin Airport Authority. In 2017 the company which owns and oper- ates Cork and Dublin airports recorded a turnover of €855mil- lion. A regular con- tributor to local media, Eric’s articles have cov- ered topics ranging from school homework and
With the East Cork Municipality becoming a seven seat constitu- ency under the recent electoral area shake up, it gives the Labour Par- ty the opportunity to double their numbers in Cork County. A member of Cork Air- ports Police and Fire Service, Nolan said the change gives the Party an opportunity to gain, for the first time, a seat in the East Cork Mu- nicipal District, which would complement

the Party’s only sitting Cllr Cathal Rasmus- sen in the Cobh Mu- nicipal District. The East Cork Municipality changes from a six to a seven seater, and Cobh Municipal District loses a seat.
Cllr Cathal Rasmus-
sen, who is considered a hard worker for the Party in the Cobh Elec- toral area, is expected to easily retain his seat as there is a long history of Labour representation in the region. To learn more about Eric’s cam- paign you can follow on Facebook EricNolanLa- bour or Twitter @eric- nolanlab .
