Description
Dan Murray emigrates to England in 1952. He finds work with the Reicey Brothers, building contractors. He himself becomes a contractor to reckon with when he comes up with the innovative idea of drawing together labourers from all over Ireland and transporting them to England as he needs them for a job. There is also his romantic interest, Iris O'Lully. John B. Keane captures with unerring skill the turbulent, bawdy, anarchic life of Irish contractors and labourers alike, as they ty to make it in England.
