City living on Cork's Albert Road for €315,000

Eastville is living at one’s ease in Cork’s historic former Jewish quarter

Ethnic and religious repression is almost as old as the ages: what’s happening in Afghanistan right now has numerous chilling precedents, including pogroms which saw thousands of Eastern European Jews fleeing persecution in Lithuania in the 1880s. 

Hundreds of them fetched up as refugees over the next decade in Ireland, prompting the casual naming of a Cork city district near the docks as Jewtown.
