A fascinating history of an ancient Irish 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 Mountain foot is now a sprawling metropolis, home to over 100,000 people, and quickly becoming a “Smart City” riddled with all the issues of modern globalism, this Book Richly illustrated with period photographs and original drawings by Michael O’Brien, helps us remember a simpler time before weapons of mass destruction, biological warfare and mind control experiments, sure: it had its challenges but it also had strong families, solidarity among communities and a real goal to strive towards. I’m left wondering is what we have witnessed over the last hundred years actually progress? did our fathers really intend the world we have today for us and our children?
With the European Union, United Nations and their various allies wiping out indigenous People, Cultures and Nations for the past near century we have learned that just like in “Jekyll Island” they (the Elites) like to pay the people they intend to “displace” to document the world that gets destroyed along the way. I bring this up because of the UNESCO funding allocated towards this wonderful snapshot of Irish life. South Dublin County Council (Taxes) Also had a part to play so I hope this fascinating read is available in your local library.
If not here’s a link to Easons that’s where I got mine. We really need Physical books, I walked to Easons The Square Tallaght and paid CASH. The men in the pages of this book have a story to tell and I don’t believe its about how all humanity ended up being treated as livestock.
