Occasions Of Sin
Charts the Irish sexual experience over the course of the 20th century. This book covers such subjects as abortion, pregnancy, celibacy, contraception, censorship, infanticide, and the various hidden Irelands associated with sexual abuse - all in the context of a conservative official morality backed by the Catholic Church and by legislation.
