No, the s/story award is still called after Frank but the fest has been renamed because, I would say, Cork City & Co Co give a lot of money towards it and want Cork as the brand. I think it's a good move. Cultural tourism and all that jazz. It also simplifies things a little. Though I do wonder how Frank's family feel about it. They are a sensible lot so I am sure they see the wisdom in it.Group 8https://www.blogger.com/profile/07924947352624027079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407922151503116046.post-43691321441852590852011-08-06T10:50:59.888+01:002011-08-06T10:50:59.888+01:00A great line up, I just read Ethel Ronans Cut Thro...A great line up, I just read Ethel Ronans Cut Through The Bone and thought it was fantastic, best thing I've read in ages, have a ball:)<br />Why has it been renamed I wonder, Is Frank O Connor out of favour?Words A Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04423263654771820182noreply@blogger.com
