It has been announced that well known Cork businessman Jack Mulcahy has died.<\/p>\n
Mr Mulcahy spent much of his working life at the Chicken Inn, a business that became a familiar fixture in Cork\u2019s English Market, and through which he became a well-known and respected figure in the city.<\/p>\n
Outside of business, Mr Mulcahy was \u201cdeeply involved in public and community life\u201d, his family said in a statement released this week.<\/p>\n
He was a longstanding supporter of Fianna F\u00e1il in Cork North Central, served as a peace commissioner, and was a proud supporter of Glen Rovers.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe also gave generously of his time to supporting young prisoners in Cork Prison, a reflection of his lifelong commitment to helping others within the community,\u201d said Mr Mulcahy\u2019s family.<\/p>\n
\u201cJack will be remembered not only for his contribution to Cork\u2019s business and community life, but above all as a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and family man.\u201d<\/p>\n
Established in 1955, the Chicken Inn was built by Mr Mulcahy and his wife Mary into a much-loved institution within the English Market.<\/p>\n
Today, the business continues under the stewardship of the third generation of the Mulcahy family.<\/p>\n
Mr Mulcahy is survived by his wife Mary and children John, Tim, and Denis, as well as grandchildren Judy, Ali, Rebecca, Jack, Molly, Kate, Luke, Avery, Carrie, and Lucy-Jane; daughters-in-law Kathleen, Monica and Fiona; sister Vera; extended family, and friends.<\/p>\n
A Requiem Mass will take place on Monday at 11.30am in Christ King Church, Turner’s Cross, which will be live-streamed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Burial afterwards at St Finbarr\u2019s Cemetery, Glasheen Rd.\u00a0<\/p>\n
