SAINTS AND SINNERS WALKING TOUR DUBLIN

SAINTS AND SINNERS TOUR - ONLY FROM HIDDEN DUBLIN WALKS

Ireland's chequered sexual history is more contradictory and at times heart wrenching than any other country in Europe. From Celtic times to the modern day we will see how and why Ireland's views on sex and love have changed so drastically and what role the Church had to play in moral shifts. See what used to be Europe's largest and most notorious red-light district known as Dublin's "Monto", and hear about what happened to the poor girls who worked in Monto when it was successfully shut down. Learn about Magdalene laundries and the horrors that young Irish women had to face in them, sexual "crimes" such as "being too pretty", the questionable sexuality of St Patrick, the trials and executions of homosexuals and the rip roaring underground gay scene of 19th century Dublin. Meet some of Dublin's most notorious sinners, including the member of the royal family who lost his virginity in Monto, Father Patrick Fay, the priest who would marry anyone and anything as long as the couple could produce the cash, and John Atherton a staunch campaigner to introduce the death penalty for homosexual acts who certainly got his come uppance in the end
