Donal Fallon speaks to two writers who have written recent books on the history of Dublin.
In O'Connell Street: The History and Life of Dublin's Iconic Street Nicola Pierce explores the people, the history, the buildings and the stories behind the main street in our capital.
Kathryn Milligan's Painting Dublin, 1886-1949: Visualising a Changing City represents the first detailed study of the depiction of Dublin in nineteenth- and twentieth-century art. It demonstrates the important role played by the portrayal and experience of urban life, a role shaped by huge historical, political, and social change.
