The Official handing over of Spike Island to Cork County Council will take place on Sunday 11th July (the date which marks the 72nd Anniversary of Spike Island being handed back to the Irish Government). Spike is an unique island which had an unique way of life which needs to be recorded for posterity particularly now with Cork County Council having a vested interest in its future
A joint Cork Harbour Islands Project (C.H.I.P.) /Cork County Council Exhibition sponsored by Port of Cork will take place on 11th July in the Heritage Centre to honour the event. The Exhibition, which will feature historical data, photographs and memorabilia, will be a celebration of the history of the Island and the people that worked and lived there.
Photographs and memorabilia of any aspect of military ,community and family life to add to the Exhibition are still being avidly sought from any of the numerous families/personnel that lived or worked on the island. All will be copied and returned safely. Please contact John Hennessy (4814202), Claire Stack (4813113/086-8590681) or any member of C.H.I.P
