The social and cultural history of the Dublin Public House
        Presented  by 
Donal Fallon

While the public house may call to mind the Victorian era, the story of drinking in Dublin taverns goes back much further. In this talk, Donal Fallon will explore the importance of bars, taverns and public houses in the story of Dublin.
Donal Fallon is the presenter of the Three Castles Burning podcast, and the author of several books about Dublin city, including the Irish Book Award nominated 'Lamplighters of the Phoenix Park.' His next book is a social and cultural history of the Dublin public house.
Characters as diverse as
James Larkin, Theobald Wolfe Tone,
Con Houlihan and Nell McCafferty all feature.
