The Echo was 120 years old on June 14, 2012. In that time and since the newspaper has served the people of Cork by faithfully, factually and fairly reporting the daily news and standing up for the citizens. It is my privilege to lead the team which carries on that tradition of service. It is an excellent team of professional journalists dedicated to the interests of the men and women of Cork City and County - and trusted by them.
We provide the most extensive coverage in stories and pictures of the good news and the bad news as it affects Cork people, and we argue and advocate Cork's case on every issue. Our sports service is the most comprehensive in Ireland, and suitably reflects Cork's greatest obsession. We provide an entertaining and sociable read and a venue for Cork people to connect with each other. Source

Search ArticlesCan't bye me love: Premier SHC sides can't convert advantage
Isn’t it amazing how sporting curses only ever seem to be cast on the teams that fall short of ultimate glory over a sustained period? For instance, when Mayo reached the 1989 All-Ireland SFC final, there was no mention in the media of a curse; similarly, the lead-in to 1996 was devoid of such talk. On the other side of it, surely, given the power of piseogs in Kerry, someone in the Kingdom could have placed a hex on Dublin to stop them winning six All-Ireland football titles in a row?
Kildorrery and Glanworth delivered a derby cracker as relegation playoff heads to a replay
After 80-plus minutes of battling football, near-neighbours Kildorrery and Glanworth could not be separated in their McCarthy Insurance Intermediate relegation final on Sunday. It was fitting that Shanballymore, bang in the middle of these clubs, hosted this intriguing game and the hundreds of loyal fans were treated to a classic. A replay will be needed to decide this crucial tie, but these great clubs can be proud of their players.
Eoghain O'Connor savours landmark Kanturk win but insists performance won't do in semi-final
Football’s new rules continue to shine a positive light on the game with every passing weekend of action. Sunday’s Kilbrin showdown between Kanturk and Kilshannig saw the orange flag raised 11 times during their quarter-final. But dissent rose to prominence too. Kanturk gifted their opponents a couple of handy two-pointers, giving oxygen to Kilshannig's comeback, and they even lost Alan Walsh after he picked up a second yellow card near the end.
The Pubs of Cork: A fourth generation running the show at iconic Creedon’s bar
For more than two centuries, Creedon’s Hotel in the mid-Cork village of Inchigeelagh has been in the hospitality trade. It started off in 1820 as a thatched inn, and has blossomed into a large venue with 14 rooms, food, a beer garden, and music. The Creedon family, who have run the pub since 1941, have moved with the times and adapted accordingly.
'We stood up to them': Eoin Ryan salutes 14-man Clonakilty resolve in Newcestown win
Clonakilty selector Eoin Ryan said sheer resolve and honest graft carried his 14‑man side over the line as they edged Newcestown on Saturday evening. The Brewery Town prevailed 1-17 to 2-13 in a gripping McCarthy Insurance Group Premier SFC quarter-final in Dunmanway. Clon are back in the last four for the first time since 2021, where they will meet reigning champions St Finbarr’s.

'We needed a big performance - and we got one,' as Nemo finally get past Castlehaven
Nemo Rangers manager Robbie O’Dwyer said Sunday evening’s 1‑20 to 1‑17 victory over Castlehaven in Clonakilty was built on “character” and “work ethic” as his side booked their place in the McCarthy Insurance Group Premier SFC semi-finals. In a meeting of two modern standard bearers of Cork football, Nemo produced one of their most resilient championship displays in recent seasons to finally get the better of a Castlehaven team that had beaten them in the 2023 and 2024 county finals.
Premier SFC: Clonakilty proving an enjoyable venue for St Finbarr's
It might be an idea for St Finbarr’s to put in a special request for all future McCarthy Insurance Group Premier SFC quarter-finals to be played in Clonakilty. A year ago, a six-goal salvo saw them dethrone Castlehaven en route to reclaiming the Andy Scannell Cup. This time, form in the group stage was patchy as they qualified with one win and two losses but on Sunday four goals in the opening eight minutes of the second half helped them to power past Carbery and into the last four.

Completing bypass of Cork town will be ‘particularly challenging’, warns senior council official
Completing the long-awaited second phase of the Bandon bypass will be “particularly challenging”, Cork County Counci’s head of roads has warned. The first section of the N71 bypass, which skirts the southern side of Bandon, was completed 35 years ago but stops at the junction with the Kilbrittain Rd. As a result, traffic between Cork City and West Cork is funnelled through parts of the town, contributing to increasing congestion on the N71 and on local roads linking the town centre and suburbs.
