LOCAL historian Roger ‘Ronnie’ Herlihy, who died suddenly last week, will forever be remembered as a true Cork man with the city in his heart.
His exploration of Cork’s past took many forms, from his summer walking tours of Douglas Street and St Joseph’s Cemetery to his work as the ‘In-House Historian’ on The Neil Prendeville Show, to putting together an Ar Slí na Fírinne documentary on TG4, to finding pictures for the Facebook group ‘Old Photos of Cork City and County’, and his various writings.
Following his sudden passing, tributes have been paid to Ronnie from all across the world.
Douglas Street traders have referred to him as ‘hugely popular’, with his walking tours cited as ‘the highlight of the Autumn Fest’ every year.
His close friends and family have called him a ‘scholar’ for his depth of knowledge on the Rebel County.
To anyone who ever has spoken to Ronnie or read one of his books, there was always a childish sense of excitement and wonder about the stories and people who made Cork.
