Testimonials

"I find being a member of the club very rewarding. Being part of a group of people whose only ambition as a club is to serve the local community and give something back is very rewarding. The diverse backgrounds and age profile of all involved also makes it a fun club to be involved in."
Jack Daly,
Lion member 15 years
"The Cork Barrack Street Band is extremely grateful for the support from Cork Lions Club. Their donations have allowed us to buy instruments and provide tuition to young people who otherwise couldn’t access music education. The socially inclusive nature of this program has changed lives, and it’s been a very positive experience to be associated with the Cork Lions and the tremendous work they do."
Billy O’Callaghan
Band Leader, Barrack Street Band
