The Nassau County AOH Feis has named Irish Examiner publisher Paddy McCarthy its 2010 honoree.
Paddy was born in Ballyphehane, Cork City, into a family of seven boys and two girls. Like most Irish families of the time, the McCarthys lived a happy life, in humble conditions. On leaving school, Paddy tried his hand at several occupations, including shoe manufacturing and working for CIE on the Cork docks.
