Rome's Empire Claimed For Cork
Gabriel Mc Namara

I'm a "Plastic Rebel" being born in Hammersmith, West London ! My mother is a Douglas girl though thus the Cork link.

I had the standard London Irish upbringing of 2 or 3 holidays a year back home to Cork thus depriving me of the sun in Spain that my classmates got but on the plus side gave me the chance to hone a Cork City accent that sort of sounds quite genuine... to someone from Galway perhaps!

I was out in Roma to plan my wedding next year which is due to take place in the Lazio countryside in May. I am getting hitched to a Millstreet girl, Aileen. The PRC top is now safely in the wash for this weekends Munster Final.

If you find yourself in any outpost of interest this summer and happen to have brought your PROC t-shirt we'd love to have your photos in our gallery. You can send them to editor@peoplesrepublicofcork.com Click here to visit the gallery
