  • The rebel county. The real capital. My home. Welcome to County Cork.
    County Cork has diverse landscape from the bustle of Cork City to the serene hills and beaches of the west, a fascinating history of revolution and emigration, is the largest county in Ireland and is home to the world's second largest natural harbour and a butter museum!
    Next episode: County Derry!
    Cork is a very big county with a lot going on so I have surely missed some aspects of it in this video. If there's anything extra which you think everyone should know, please comment below.
    Have facts/information about an upcoming county?

      Just seeing the end of the video there. Pretty sure 'Danny Boy' is of Derry origin. We have Derry girls of course. The town is called the maiden city because its walls have never been breached. Niel Gannon and one of the lads from Coldplay are from here. We basically use the word 'hi' as a full stop. Everyone from Derry (including hardcore loyalists) call it Derry. We had the oldest department store in Europe (Austin's in shipquay street) before it closed about 12 years ago I think

    • @richiehoyt8487
      @richiehoyt8487 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      There is something about the biggest (or most prestigious) department store in a given town or city that would give one to believe that said department store is about the most solid and secure of that town's businesses. To have seen so many go, starting in the '60's and right up to the present, on account of urban blight, recession, out - of - town 'big box stores' and of course the internet is as depressing as it is startling...

    I come from a long long LONG line of people from Cork. My Nana left Ireland in the 1950's and came to Toronto! My Mom was the first person in their family not to be born on Irish soil ever. Like ever, and I'm only in my 30's! Thanks for showing me part of my history!

    I took a 23andme DNA test and it says my ancestry is Irish and with the greatest concentration of Irish DNA being from County Cork. So most likely my ancestors came to the U.S. from County Cork.

    I am descended from a Thomas Coughlen or spelt Coughlan or Coughlin who came from Cork & settle around Mendip Hill in Somerset England - He came I believe to work the Mendip hill coal mines from 1841 onwards.

    This is where we reorganized and sent our company to in Ireland. There are wanting people to come over and start businesses no taxes so we can do Wi-Fi and cell phone services in that country and they speak English. They say we can make a lot of money there. Oh, Noah, Irishman here.

    I’m an American with roots in cork and have little to no information about my heritage, as I just found out I’m Irish and Scottish. I am wanting to learn. Point me in the direction for some good books. I’m interested in history and folk tales, like things my ancestors believed.

    This is informative for sure but you mentioned “the great famine “ a number of times. Although it is still thought in schools as most of our accepted learned knowledge was written by our oppressors. It is however now widely recognized that no such event ever took place in Ireland ( most of our patriotic songs tell the true story ) People starved for sure …..but due to more chilling reasons . It would be much more accurate and appropriate to omit such stories from accounts of Irish history.

    Who where the Cramer family from Cork? That's my grandfather's father's side DNA through a man name Ambrose Nicolas Yates (Cramer) he took up a man that wasn't his father last name which was (Yates) so my DNA & last name should be of a Cramer.
