New updated edition of the seminal work by Catherine Dunne, which charted the multifarious lives of the London Irish, in all their variety and color, now with a brand new foreword by Diarmaid Ferriter.Before the "Ryanair Generation", leaving home was for good.

For many of these youthful emigrants, exile held the promise of adventure and excitement, freedom from the oppressions of De Valera's Ireland. Abandoned by the Irish state, this forgotten generation went in search of employment and security, the dignity of a future that was denied them at home. Yet no two emigrant experiences were the same.
