The huge success of the Liam Miller fundraising event, raising in excess of €50k for charities, visiting over 100 schools in Cork with an ‘I Can’ message and historic events marking milestones in the evolution of the city are among the standout memories recalled by former Lord Mayor Cllr. Mick Finn in a new book.
The book was launched by Lord Mayor Cllr Joe Kavanagh and Lady Mayoress Stephanie in the Lord Mayor’s Chambers.
The first independent Lord Mayor of the City since 1945, Cllr Mick Finn took up the mantle in June 2018 in the final year of the council’s five-year term and embarked on an action-packed journey that highlighted the best that Cork had to offer. He also became the first Lord Mayor in the new, expanded city following the boundary extension before handing the reigns over to Cllr John Sheehan.
