A fascinating history of an ancient place. From its first mention in legend in the Book of Invasions, through early Christian monastic settlements, castles and grand residences, Fenian raids and the Battle of Tallaght, there has been huge change in Tallaght. In more recent times it has seen car and motorcycle racing, an aerodrome, the rise and fall of a chocolate factory and a pioneering telecommunications firm. The massive population explosion and rapid modernisation towards the end of the twentieth century means this once-tiny village in Dublin's foothills is now home to over 80,000 people. Richly illustrated with period photographs and original drawings by Michael O'Brien, Albert Perris tells the often-surprising story of Tallaght.
Local history of the Tallaght area.
Synonymous with Dublin biscuit making is the name of W&R Jacob. This, the first history of the enterprise, traces the origin of the Jacob family in Ireland, the foundation and development of the firm, and its expansion overseas. The Dublin factory's dramatic involvement in the 1913 lock-out is recounted, as is its pivotal role in the 1916 Rising in material never before published. Jacob's impact on the social and economical life of Dublin and indeed, further afield is highlighted as its famous biscuits were, and still are, found in shops and on tea-tables in every corner of Ireland and abroad.
It is about two happy people having purchased their dream home at last, only for the woman to discover that that same house the husband just bought for their retirement home, is the same house she went to have an illegal abortion in when she was just fourteen years of age. And of course it all comes back to haunt her and everyone around her.
