Here I am, 60 years old and recovering from a hip op so I've got time on my hands. Started surfing, felt nostalgic and ended up at home in the Noggin, playing soccer at Joeys and back at school in the Brothers in DunLaoghaire.
I'm lucky that I get back a few times (I only live across the water) a year but it's great to see messages from others around the same time.
All right, so I lived in the Noggin which was a bit rough in the 60s & 70s but I enjoyed it, especially St Josephs Boys Club. Fr McCabe founded it to give him his due and he kept a lot of lads off the streets and out of trouble but he was a bit of a strange fish....say no more...
I was born in Crosthwaite Park West...looks beautiful now but we lived in a basement flat with the rats. Moved to the Noggin when I was 6. Went to the Brothers & left at 16 to work in McCullaghs, anyone remember that store?
My granny used to live in Barratt Street at the bottom of York Road. Molly Durkin was well known locally and me & my brother used to walk there from school at lunchtimes to get a big bag of chips made with dripping, eating them as we walked back to school.
I met a girl from Monkstown and we ran off to England. Still here a couple of kids, 4 grandkids and a decent life (if not exactly rich) later. I'll leave another message in the CBS Eblana Avenue section.

Four Courts Press have just published a new book on the history of Ireland's Sea Fisheries. This includes lots of references to Dublin City and County.

"Troubled Waters: A social and cultural history of Ireland's sea fisheries" by Jim Mac Laughlin

This is the most comprehensive study of the history of sea fishing in Ireland to date. It charts the evolution of fisheries from the earliest times, and discusses the historical importance of the coastal economy to the country’s maritime communities. Troubled Waters demonstrates the significant roles played by inshore and deep-sea fishing in the evolution of modern Irish society. The author argues that the general neglect of Ireland’s sea fisheries by historians and social commentators is matched only by political marginalisation of the country’s fishing industry. Topics examined include the archaeology of Irish fishing; cultural representations of coastal workers in Irish art and literature; the internationalisation of Irish waters in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries; the organisation of fish shambles and markets in coastal Ireland; the social world and working lives of Irish fishing communities; and the ‘crowded shoreline’ of nineteenth-century Ireland.

For additional details see the Four Courts Press website
