Irish Interest

An important, enlightening, celebratory book about being who you are, not who you are expected to be and why that is key to maintaining your own identity.

How will Ireland redress its legacy of institutional abuse? What constitutes justice? What is Transitional Justice? How might democracy evolve if survivors' experiences and expertise were allowed to lead the response to a century of gender- and family separation-based abuses?

This remarkable book provides an account of the history of Ireland like we've never seen before. Told through the prism of the lives of twenty-one extraordinary women, it offers an alternative vision of Irish history, one that puts the spotlight on women whose contributions have been forgotten or overlooked.

For over thirty years, David McDonald worked in Ireland's three biggest prisons. This is his story.

The Political Parties of Ireland is an indispensible companion for all who wish to know how Ireland's political parties have evolved, and how their electoral journeys are shaping the future of the island they share.
