Occasions of Sin: Sex and Society in Modern Ireland

Praise for Diarmaid FerriterThe Transformation of Ireland 'A landmark book, full of insight and intelligent judgement and sheer diligent research, which deals with the complexity of the Irish revolution and its aftermath. Ferriter is at ease in the world of high politics and policy-making, but it is his word on economic, social, cultural and gender issue, which makes his account of Ireland during this period itself a transformation in historical methodology.' Colm Toibin'A deeply absorbing account, written in assured style. It is a very fine achievement indeed and a book which deserves to be widely read.' Richard English, Irish Times'His approach is judicious and empathetic ... a rich and provocative study. This will be an influential book, and is a remarkable achievement.' Roy Foster, GuardianJudging Dev'A watershed in the telling of Irish history ... every Irish home should have one of these books.'
