Ó Bhéal's 2nd hybrid event is a Tribute to Joseph Sweeney, much beloved writer and poet who mostly wrote humorous short stories. Joe passed after a short illness in May 2021. He was a regular Ó Bhéal attendee since its outset in 2007 and was well known to local Cork writers in particular. A number of Joe’s poems and prize-winning short stories will be read by many of these local writers. For more details click here >>>
