It’s been a rather hectic and busy weekend, so pardon my delay in scanning this up, but I was delighted with this brief mention in The Irish Times radio review section owing to my contribution to the Sean Moncrieff programme on Newstalk last week. I had featured to discuss the (in)famous Animal Gangs of Dublin’s past.

Congratulations. Be chuffed. Moncrief is very good.
Unfortunately I missed your slot. Is it available on podcast. I checked out the site but couldn’t find any reference to it.
I do remember (from the 1950s?) the papers reporting baton charges in O’Connell St. Seemed to be taken for granted at the time. Don’t remember the context.
NIce one. I was only reading the other day some oul parish pump craw thumper claiming we needed to return to when Ireland was a shining beacon of Vatican social order.
thats interesting. do you have a podcast or article about these gangs available? my father mentioned them once and i’d like to know more
