Monto In The Rare Oul Times

[Mousey]

Thanks for the reprise from July, Brother Marvado. That was all before my time and I never go back more than one page when checking new posts!

It always amazes me that in the period of Monto when Ireland was ruled completely by the bishops (and the brits) we had 1600 street prostitutes.

Now in our "godless" society we have a fraction of this number.

Just a thought !!!

If you are interested in the history of prostitution in Ireland, watch out for Striapacha...

"Striapacha" (2008)

It was on TG4. They will show it again in the future I expect.

Speaking of more recent history of prostitution in Ireland, I read in the Indo today that June Levine passed away. She was the co-author of Amazon.co.uk: Lyn: A Story of Prostitution: Lyn Madden, June Levine: Books

Hey Mousey, if your looking for more recent history of Monto then read "Ladies of the Kasbah" by Dave Mullins.

I'm sure plenty of the more older gentlemen here would remember that place.

It operated during the 80's and early 90's before being busted.

Actually did anyone here visit the Kasbah back in the day?
