During a time of economic struggle in Ireland, a housing shortage in Dublin and austerity measures squeezing public services and domestic budgets, the young people of Ireland’s capital are championed in empowering portraits as they make the transition to adulthood. These young Dubliners are at a time in their lives when they will make decisions that will affect their futures and may determine the course of their lives. Yet, they are subject to forces beyond their direct control. Their futures, their fates, are not entirely in their own hands.They have already inherited circumstances of differing fortune and will inherit the positive and negative effects of actions taken by the powers that be. The subjects of the work are united in their youth but are divided in Dublin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYoung Dubliners\u003c\/em\u003e presents young Dubliners presenting themselves, in their own environments.
