In The Loft, Fr O’Flynn not only taught drama, he also worked with people who stammered. He helped people at a time when there was no speech and language therapy service in Cork City. It is almost 50 years since the passing of this remarkable man and, to commemorate the event, the Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences at UCC are holding this exhibition to celebrate Fr O’Flynn’s work and the progress made in the last 50 years in providing speech and language therapy for the people of Cork.
The exhibition was recently officially launched at the Jennings Gallery, Brookfield Health Sciences Complex, UCC, by Donncha Ó Dúlaing, the broadcaster from Cork who is known country-wide for his sports and traditional music programmes. The exhibition will continue 4th November 2011.
