'This book provides a series of snapshots of Limerick in the immediate aftermath of the Irish Civil War and during the early years of the Irish Free State. It does so through a selection of documents - letters, reports, minutes of meetings, newspaper cuttings, and photographs - organised into five thematic sections: politics, religion, work and business, sports and recreation, and culture and education. While it does not claim to offer anything like a comprehensive picture, the book does provide some sense of life in Limerick city and county in the 1920s...' [from the Introduction]
