Illustrated interview Ger McCarthy

The Quay Co-op opened on Sullivan's Quay in Cork in May 1982. The Quay Co-op was established as a Workers’ Co-operative which brought together gay men and lesbians, women’s groups, left-wing organisations, environmental and anti-nuclear groups.

The Quay Co-op housed a cafe, bookshop, food co-op, women’s place and meeting rooms which were used by various ‘ alternative’ groups in the city.

The Quay Co-op provided an important base for the further development of the Cork LGTB community and for social change movements in the city.
