Victorian Dún Laoghaire: A Town Divided

Illustrated with exceptionally high quality archive photographs, many previously unpublished, this is both a striking visual work and a controversial history of the one of Ireland's most well-known areas. For many years, the scenic side of the town has been the focus of publications; in this book, the author has extensively researched the darker side of Dun Laoghaire, and reveals the poverty which has historically counter-balanced its more salubrious tendencies.
