Review:

The Irish Aboard explores an element of the Titanic's history which many of those accounts gloss over: the lives of the Irish passengers... Using baptismal certificates, census records, personal letters, news articles - anything he could find - Molony carefully pieces together the lives of Irish passengers before, during and, for the lucky ones, after the ship sank...For anyone interested in learning more about the Titanic's most overlooked demographic, this is the place to start. -- Sheila Langan For a guide to navigating the Titanic and it's human dimension "Irish Aboard Titanic" by Senan Molony is worth recommending. -- Liam Kenny * Leinster Leader * "...excellent and comprehensive account of the Irish aboard Titanic..." * Wexford People * "....takes a fresh look at one of the key events of the last century." * East Cork Journal * A compelling read * Bord Gais Energy Book Club *
