Factory life in Industrial Yarns Ltd, Bray, 1958-98

Kieran Devenish

“Kieran Devenish [...] has done an incredible service in recording a chapter of social history that would otherwise have slipped away into the mists of time, much like the focus of the book, titled Factory Life in Industrial Yarns Ltd, Bray, 1958—98.” Tom Galvin, Wicklow People, October 2025.

“This is an excellent study, not only an industrial history, but a very insightful examination of labour relations, social history and, indeed, it has a special place in many a family’s story.” Ireland’s Genealogical Gazette, November 2025
