Subject: RE: James Larkin by the Dubliners
Strumpet City was recorded in 1980, it came out on DVD a couple of years ago.
Strumpet City, first broadcast in 1980, is a television production of epic proportions and has mark a turning point in Irish film. Hugh Leonard's adaptation of the immense novel by James Plunkett depicts in full colour the Dublin of the Irish workers, the strikes, riots and hardships of early twentieth century Ireland. This drama series stands as a reminder of those turbulent decades now fading from living memory

The popular dramatic drama based on James Plunkett's celebrated novel. This epic production is digitally re-mastered from the original tapes and offers the full seven episodes. One of RTÉ's greatest dramatic achievements.
