Join us at the James Joyce Centre for reflections on North East Inner City Dublin over the century since the defenestration of Monto on Thursday 6th March.
In March 1925, the infamous prostitution trade of Monto (or "Nighttown" in Ulysses) ended dramatically. Police flooded the area, raiding addresses. More than 120 arrests were made. Through the streets, Frank Duff Legion of Mary led a procession in honor of the Sacred Heart, reclaiming the streets.
Join us for readings and remembrances with Declan Gorman, Tina Robinson, Des Gunning and Darina Gallagher. Our special guests are the former Head of Special Projects at the National Archives of Ireland Catriona Crowe and Marie Sherlock, TD of Dublin Central.
Doors open at 7pm. Free event, booking advised.
