Housing in Dublin, 1964

Here is a look at the critical state of public housing in Dublin in 1964. Reporter John O'Donoghue talks to people who are being moved from their city-centre homes to new houses in the suburbs. As a result of the housing shortage, some families are being accommodated in Griffith Barracks. One man interviewed has moved out of the army barracks and is living in a tent in protest at housing conditions. Families who have moved from the city-centre to new homes in Finglas talk about the changes in their lives.
