Originally published in 1967, this book examines the health services, social insurance, social assistance, family allowances and housing in the Irish Republic during the late 20th Century. Discussion of the social services is introduced by an outline of the environment in which social policy operates – the political system, social implications of the demographic characteristics and the country’s economy. The book will be of interest to historians of social policy and social work.
