Ann Matthews

As part of the St. Patrick's Festival Ireland, EPIC and The chq Building present a special free event by the Dublin Dockers Workers Preservation Society on 18th of March, with guest speakers Joe Mooney and Ann Matthews, at the Galleria in The chq Building.

The Dublin Dock Workers Preservation Society will also host an exhibition in The chq Building from 1st – 27th March which is free to attend.

Joe Mooney (Dublin Dockworkers Preservation Society & the East Wall History Group) will present his talk 'WAR & PEACE and the Dublin Docklands'. It will take a look at a century and a half of human conflict, highlighting connections with the Dublin Docklands, which will include the local man who fought in the American War of Independence, before returning to Dublin to write a classic memoir.

The Rich History of the Parish of St. Laurence O'Toole will be presented by the celebrated historian, author, and playwright Ann Matthews. Born and reared in the North Wall her passion for research on a national and local (North Wall) level is truly outstanding. Her books include Renegades, Dissidents, The Irish Citizen Army and The Kimmage Garrison. Her plays include Lockout and Madame de Markievicz on Trial. As a historian Mathews has worked extensively in researching the origins and history of the Mother and Baby Homes in Ireland from the 1920s - 1990s. More recently she completed research on the history of the St. Laurence O’Toole parish in North Wall.

Both talks should provide an eye-opening and insightful account of the rich social history of Dublin's docklands that has been slowly disappearing in recent years.
