At the event Lord Mayor of Cork Cllr Tony Fitzgerald spoke of the role Cork played in both the Young Offenders movie and TV series.

“The English Market is a unique venue like no other, we welcome visitors from all walks of life from the queen of England to The Young Offenders and so it was the perfect fit for the series,” said Pat O’Connell, an English market trader who features in cameos in the show.

Creator of The Young Offenders, Peter Foott thanked the English Market for allowing them to take over and film some of their best scenes.
