The Emergency In Ballincollig
When the Second World War broke out in 1939, it had a huge effect on those on either side, but also those on neither side. The Emergency, as the War was called in Ireland, had a profound effect on those living in Ireland. The way of life in Ballincollig was not in isolation to that in the rest of the country, and provides a good viewpoint with which to examine The Emergency.

Famous quotes containing the word emergency:
“War-making is one of the few activities that people are not supposed to view “realistically”; that is, with an eye to expense and practical outcome. In all-out war, expenditure is all-out, unprudent—war being defined as an emergency in which no sacrifice is excessive.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
