Night and Day is a kaleidoscopic glimpse into a day in the life of contemporary Dublin, a patchwork quilt of illustrated poems that become snapshots taken on the run amid the flow of busy lives across the new suburbs that necklace Ireland's capital. For two years, one of Ireland's best-known writers, Dermot Bolger, was a resident artist with South Dublin County Council's innovative INCONTEXT3 Percent for Art Programme. During this time he created a series of poems about everyday life that were displayed in unusual locations - as murals on Luas stops and walls of community centres or as posters in libraries or tax offices. Bolger saw his work as deliberately forming only one half of a story. Each poem contained an invitation for writers, who live or work in the South County Dublin Council area, to contribute to this work in progress, so that Bolger's poems would merge into a symphony of other voices, creating a tapestry of lives as lived in Ireland today. Accompanying the poems is an extraordinary series of photographs of South Dublin County taken by INCONTEXT3 Artists, Anne Cleary and Denis Connolly, that provide a visual context to the ever-shifting city that inspired this collaborative book. Night and Day bustles with the sense of modern life, a day filled with busy commuters in cars and on buses, and of intimate moments in parks and behind closed doors. It is a unique account of Irish life to be treasured. Bolger's original sequence also forms part of a separate solo volume of his recent poetry, External Affairs, published by New Island in December 2008.

In 1859, Dubliners strolling along country roads witnessed something new emerging from the green fields. The Victorian house had arrived: wide red brick structures stood back behind large front lawns. Over the next forty years, an estimated 35,000 homes were built in the fields surrounding the city. Distinguished by their elaborate entrances and imposing granite staircases, Dublin produced its own unique version of the Victorian house form. Today, these houses are some of the capital's most highly valued structures, and are protected under strict conservation laws. However, despite their significance, there has been little research on those behind their creation, and of the complex processes which brought them into being. Based on measured surveys, photographs, and contemporary drawings and maps, this book is the first in depth analysis of Dublin's Victorian domestic architecture. Focusing on the work of three entrepreneurial developers, who built high quality houses in different sectors, it follows in their footsteps as they speculated in house building: signing leases, acquiring plots, and sourcing bricks and mortar. What motivated them to invest in the housing market, and how did they finance their operations? It considers the roles of landowners and local government in supporting the suburbs: by supplying land, providing services and controlling building standards.
