“That's the sixty-four dollar question really! Well, I'm delighted to be in the Historical Society, I'm chairman at the moment of the Historical Society, I like to be able to give something back if you know, because I had many happy days and counting, needless to say.”

“I suppose I wouldn't be a big achiever in anything and these days you know I didn't ever win any all-Ireland medals or anything like that, which a lot of others in Carrigtwohill have done, because you know everybody has their own little bit too add, you know.”

“I would say one of the things that I think has been useful is along with my neighbours we cleaned off one of the old stone walls on our road, and it was amazing because it hadn't been seen for generations, it was built in the 1860s by the Cork and Youghal company which was chaired by a famous development companies name.”

“That was a cool thing to do, it wasn’t a huge thing, but when you're walking down the road it gives you a bit of a smile know that you were involved in that, and at the moment I'm looking at it on the front of my house, and the same line is that old 1860s wall, we're going to rebuild the stonewall in front of our house, and that's going to take about a year to do. I’m going to do that with my two sons with the help of the stone mason, and if I do that that would be pretty cool but it's all these small things they make the place better.”
