Irish Working Lives is the story of the encounters – by turns candid and lyrical – that illuminate the ways in which these individuals perceive their chosen occupation, its day-to-day demands and the inextricable relationship between work life and spiritual life.

The old clichés about the Irish are as comfortable as they are familiar. They give us a part to play and save us the trouble of soul-searching. But what if there was something much more interesting and attractive underneath those layers of exaggeration? Isn’t it worth finding out?

The purpose of this series is to offer some practical assistance and advice to students preparing for Leaving Certificate Higher Level English Paper 2.

Photography collection of Irish roads less travelled.
