Foundation City: Cork from the ground up

 The teaching order of the Presentation Brothers,

stemming from Edmund Rice and his companions,

followed a congregational example of the Presentation Sisters

founded by Nano Nagle in Cork in 1775,

and had its Generalate in Cork.


Some traces of the city of that earlier time may still be seen here
