The motorcar changed Ireland irrevocably. The Motorcar in Ireland
offers an overall historical assessment of the development of the
motorcar within Ireland and its role as a modernising force
impacting and influencing change on the island between the years
1896-1939. It also discusses the nature of the relationships that
developed between the motorcar, the state and the motor industry
during this period, and how these groups encouraged or discouraged
the development of car culture within Ireland. Demonstrating the
impact that the motorcar had, the author examines the role it
played during the First World War, the Civil War and the Emergency.
She also shows how the popularisation of the car influenced
legislation around road construction and the development of
industries subsidiary to the motor industry, including oil. The
Motorcar in Ireland includes photographs and stories researched
from a variety of private and public archives from across Ireland
and the UK, including the Royal Irish Automobile Club (RIAC), which
brings the fascinating story of the early years of the motorcar to
life with great colour and humour.
