Special projects help people break addiction and change their lives

Barry Corkery is one of this year’s selectors on the Cork senior football management team. He is less well known in Cork for his day job as a senior addiction counsellor managing two treatment centres in Tralee, Co. Kerry.

Corkery is obviously good with teams and he once told the Irish Examiner that while the HSE got “loads of attention” when things go wrong, the work of his own addiction support teams would blow you away.
