Dublin’s Working Prams Many months have elapsed since I first met Paul Preston, a trader in Dublin City Centre. Since then I have made it a habit, whenever in the city centre, to stop at Paul’s stall and have a chat with him. His is an extraordinary story – a story of trial, challenge and redemption. Central to his story is his mother, Ellen, who throughout Paul’s lifetime gave him such support and unconditional love. Paul recently told me that his mother figured prominently in a book about Dublin, and I asked him if he would be kind enough to lend it to me. He did so, and a quick perusal through the book “Dublin’s Working Prams” by Susan Weir convinced me that this is truly a momentous and important publication, recording in picture and story the graphic and magical story of the Dublin street traders and their prams. Here you will learn about old Dublin, Moore Street and its environs, and the extraordinary women who daily plied their trade there. First published in 2012, I immediately set about getting my own copy, and was delighted to be able to do so on the excellent website “www.shopinireland.ie”. The story and accompanying photographs, compiled by Susan Weir, enthrall and inform in equal measure, regaling us about Dublin “in the rare old times”, capturing the Dublin of the time and its prams and their owners in a truly wonderful way. In this book Susan proves that she possesses the most important piece of a photographer’s equipment – a keen eye! She also has a perceptive listening ear, and so Susan the astute photographer and magical story teller has succeeded in capturing between the book’s covers precious memories that recreate a pride in her native Dublin and the women that she took to her heart and celebrated with colour, style and panache. Get this book now on www.shopinireland.ie; read it; enjoy it and share it. It is a book to be treasured, a reminder of great people in a great city at a great time. Éamon Ó Murchú 24/10/2021
