The rebellion of 1916 transformed Irish politics. Outside of Dublin, there were only a few locations where military action occured. One of these was Ashbourne, Co. Meath, and it was organized by Volunteers from north Co. Dublin. This book examines the Irish Volunteer movement in north Co. Dublin. It looks at the events of Easter week, and explores what the rebellion meant to the general population of towns such as Skerries, where local loyalist residents left their homes and paced the seashore for fear of attack from the Volunteers. While the Helga was heading up the river Liffey to bombard the city centre, patrolling gunboats aimed their guns on the town of Skerries, and a force of about 200 men of the North Straffordshire Regiment was landed on Wednesday, 26 April 1916, and strategic points in the town were fortified and a night-time curfew was imposed on the town's inhabitants. The collapse of the rebellion saw thousands arrested and interned, among them men from north Co. Dublin, and these men's collective experiences from an integral part of this study.

Ever since the publication of her first collection, Tales from Bective Bridge, in 1942, Mary Lavin has been praised for admirably capturing, in intense and lucid stories, the social and psychological reality of mid-20th-century Ireland. Yet, Lavin's sharp insight into the quiet tragedies and joys of human life easily transcends its immediate context, and her work continues to appeal to contemporary readers, both in Ireland and abroad. To celebrate the recent centenary of Mary Lavin's birth, this collection honors one of the leading figures of the Irish short story tradition. Leading critics.
