reflect and return time and time again to dip in and out and explore a chapter or
a particular theme at a time. Given the upcoming centenary commemoration for
1920, this exhibition will also set the scene for our Programme of Events at St. Pe-

Dr John Borgonovo, Lecturer in the School of History at UCC and Associate Editor of
the Atlas of the Irish Revolution said: ’The Atlas of the Irish Revolution was created
to make cutting-edge scholarship accessible to the general public.
The editorial team is pleased that LW Management and Cork City Council Arts Of-
fice have offered us an opportunity to bring a selection of the book’s maps, posters,
photos, and images into St Peter’s historic and evocative setting. The exhibit is part
of UCC President Patrick O’Shea’s vision to place the university, ‘firmly back in the
public square’ through imaginative public engagement with the community. UCC’s
schools of history and geography intend to continue its public outreach program as
we progress further into the ‘decade of centenaries’.

The Atlas of the Irish Revolution Exhibition opens at St. Peter’s Cork on Thursday
the 16th of May 2019 and runs until the end of the year. Admission is free.

IHF (Irish Hotel Federation) Cork Branch visit Lord Mayor

The annual Cork IHF awards continue to go from strength to strength as they
recognise and reward hard-working people whilst also highlighting the diversity of
the people that work within the industry and the many talents that contribute to the
continued vibrancy of the hotel sector in Cork.
The Cork Branch of the Irish Hotel Federation (IHF) were therefore delighted to at-
tend a congratulatory reception hosted by Lord Mayor of Cork, Cllr. Mick Finn which
honoured their 2018 Employee of the Year, Sean Devine of the River Lee Hotel.

Sean exudes a professional, positive and friendly approach and although he had
no hotel background when he joined the River Lee Hotel in 2016, he was quickly
recognised by management as a future star as he moved through positions as a Hall
Porter, Meetings & Events Associate, Front Office Team Member and finally reaching
his current position as a Duty Manager.

Rachel Keohane of Jurys Inn Cork was awarded the Branch’s Outstanding Customer
Service Award and she is a true ambassador for her employer and it is no surprise
that she has won Jurys Inn employee of the year on two separate occasions.
Both Sean and Rachel go above and beyond what is expected of them in their roles
and are truly customer focused and responsive to problems with a real can-do atti-
tude and a passion and enthusiasm for their chosen career, congratulations to them
both.

The Cork IHF Branch would like to thank the Lord Mayor for his support of the tour-
ism industry throughout his term in office and particularly his promotion of Cork and
appreciates his acknowledgement of the investment that properties have made in
the city and county, they wish him well as he moves on from his mayoral role in the
coming weeks.
