Summary note
"Encounters with Modern Ireland examines significant movements in Irish society - from the sacredness of religion to obsessions with football and pop music, from sexual repression to liberation, from amateur to professional rugby." "The authors reflect on recurring news items - peace protests, divorce, education in an information society, the breakdown of trust caused by food contamination and sexual abuse of children by clerics, blood transfusions, drunk driving, travellers, litter and the Irish diaspora."--Jacket.
