Report on homes of the poor

Abstract

The state of the dwellings of the working and poorer population has been now so fully recognized as one of the most potent causes of all that is deplorable in the sanitary and social conditions of this city, that we do not think it necessary here to enter upon the proofs. These are to be found at large in the Report, dated June, 1880, of the Royal Commission on the sewerage and drainage of Dublin, which sat in the autumn of 1879, and the voluminous evidence thereto appended.
