The tradition of awarding the Freedom of the City still lives on in cities around the world, though many of the rights or privileges associated with the award are symbolic. In Cork, awarding the Freedom of the City dates to the fourteenth century. Notable recipients included Charles Stewart Parnell, William Gladstone, JFK, Eamon de Valera, Mary Robinson, and Sean Og O hAilpin. This book brings to life the rich history associated with the awarding of the Freedom of the City in Cork, by describing the history of the honor and profiling notable recipients.
