Monto and All the 'Mollies'

The present writer felt that he was well-placed and qualified to write about Monto and the phenomenon of brothels and prostitution in Dublin. Firstly, he is a qualified Sociologist and Town Planner and in his studies and work and as a professional City Planner and Sociologist gained very considerable expertise to enable him to gain a deep understanding of what had happened in Dublin's areas of poverty and accompanying sexual depravity. This writer had the good fortune to work as a town planner in Dublin Corporation (Dublin City Council), north and south of the River Liffey. Firstly in the Planning Department located at the edge of Monto in Talbot Street and, following that, working in the Civic Offices Wood Quay. In his work and in his leisure time, he became familiar with every road lane way nook and cranny in Monto and the corresponding area south of the River Liffey, which had the 'nickname' 'Hell'.The title of this short story is 'Monto and all the Mollies'. The reason for this is the fact that there were many other areas of brothels besides Monto, where prostitution 'flourished' at different times, both north and south of the Liffey.
