The annual publication of the Kinsale Record features a range of articles on the major events in the town's history, and also encourages research into lesser-known topics.
Volume 33 has two articles by Fergal Browne on Ballintobber, Cullen, and the old Agriculture show, all showing the depth of his research, while Leo McMahon’s three articles draw on his career as a journalist with the Southern Star. Jack Lane is well known for his public lectures at festivals, and his article on Roger Casement reveals some of the intrigue surrounding his death. Nicholas Cooke has taken a great interest in Kinsale, and his articles on Robert Southwell and his research on the troubled fishing industry are a natural continuation of his earlier articles.
Eileen Hogan has proved to be a great source on the fate of the Kinsale who were involved in World War Two, and Colm Gimblett continues to trace the people and events of the 1920’s. Frank O’Brien recalls life in Kinsale in the 1890s. Paul Ryan reminds us of the history and changes at Saint Multose Church. The Carmelite Order provides information on the most notable Kinsale member of that order, and the story of the Laurentic recalls the fate of some Kinsale seamen. The Mussel controversy sparked new awareness of marine life in the harbour, and John Collins has provided a special insight into what is at risk.
