At Least Once a Year

by Pat O'Looney

Overview

A memoir on growing up in a farming community in the West of Ireland during the 1950s and 1960s, it describes the state of poverty, unemployment and emigration of the 1950s and follows the developing economy once Ireland joined the E.E.C. in the early 1970s. Despite an economic crash and bailout at the turn of the last decade Ireland has once again reached full employment. It is a social history of Ireland over the past seventy years and deals with the influence of the Catholic Church, sport, the education system including a lifetime teaching, the Irish language and a critical look at the European Union. In addition to looking back over the past seventy years, the author also looks forward and tries to predict the kind of society we will be living in in ten to fifteen years time.
