Had a group from the US on a history tour around the North Inner City talking about changes from the 1930s tenements into the new social housing flat complex’s. They were shocked at the history of Irelands industrial schools & Magdillon Laundries, & many other social issues.

Had a brilliant group today on the Monto walking tour. We finished on Sean MacDermott Street outside the old IRA safe house once owned by Sean Fitzpatrick, it was in this house two of Michael Collins’s men were captured in 1920 by the Black and Tans.

Jemmy, known as 'the man with the hidden secret.' In 1964, my father was dying, he made him a promise he would take care of our family after his passing. A promise he kept & more. Jemmy's story is part of a bigger story I hope to publish.

1920s, photo: young girls from Rutland Street School, Dublin. The school was dubbed 'The Redbrick Slaughterhouse.' Corporal punishment was the order of the day. Also, tenement rent books, dockers' pay books. Magdillon washing book. From our folklore collection.
