Donnybrook Days

By Miriam Walsh

Most people did not have a lot in Ireland in the 1950’s but life was good, people were kind to each other, there was very little crime and the streets the children played in were safe. Children were respectful of adults, were told to be `seen and not heard’ and generally were happy with their lot, which was not a ‘lot’. Join Miriam on this nostalgic journey through the 1950's in Dublin.
