Dublin Tenement Life by Kevin Corrigan Kearns

'Among the finest books ever written about Dublin' Dermot Bolger, 'The Sunday Tribune' 'This book will long stand as the definitive social history of Ireland's gulags, where the poor were herded together in conditions worse than animals, and will hopefully serve as further inspiration to those who still campaign for decent housing for all citizens.' Joe Duffy, 'The Sunday Press' Other books by Kevin C Kearns Dublin Voices Stoneybatter Streets Broad and Narrow.
