Dublin is a ‘a gigantic factory for making criminals’
The slums of Dublin ‘may be regarded as a gigantic factory for the production of criminals to fill the jails, of paupers to be supported at the expense of the public rates, and of sick patients to be nursed and medically treated in the numerous hospitals, for the support of which constant appeals are being made,’ said the lawyer S. Shannon Millin at a meeting of the Statistical Society in Dublin last night.
Mr. Millin endorsed the words of the late Recorder of Dublin who had previously stated: 'The current history of Dublin is a tale of two cities, a city of splendour and a city of squalor.'
