This request for help came in today:
Does anyone have a copy of the book “North Cork Fighting Rebels”. It must have been printed before 1960. I don’t have any other information but I would dearly love to buy/borrow this book if anyone has it.
Best wishes to all for the coming year.

Would the book have been called,”Rebel Corks Fighting Story”.A copy of this book was sold in Bandon last year for over 800euro.It is part of a series of four,the others were about Kerry,Limerick,and Dublin.If I can find my copies of the Cork and Kerry books you are welcome to borrow them.
liam, apparently there was a reprint of that book in 2009 by mercier press. there are two available on eBay for E16.36 at:

Mercier press sell it too for E17.99, but i’m not sure if they sell it only in digital format:

Hi Liam,
Thank you so much for that. I would dearly love to borrow “Rebel Corks Fighting Story”. Please let me know where I can collect it when you find it. I promise to take good care of it and return it.
Many, many thanks,

Hi Liam,
Oops! Just realised I have that book. It’s not the book I am looking for but a huge “thank you”. I totally appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Hannah
