An Islander Looks Back

An Islander Looks Back by Matt Murphy

An Islander looks back…

… on the Cork of his childhood and formative years. We enjoy the atmosphere of the City in the fifties and sixties.

… on the characters who are quickly becoming nothing more than memories of the few.

… on the simple pleasures of youth in the fifties and sixties; canoeing on the Lee and Blackwater, camping and other outdoor pursuits.

… on the peaks and valleys, the tragedies and moments of joy that are part of all of our lives. We see how one man coped with or overcame these obstacles.

And Islander looks back…

… and in his looking back – and through his commitment to the marine environment give us all faith and hope in the future.
