    Abstract

    The studies which follow, like the one that preceded them,1 are studies of social inequality, in certain of its aspects, among the population of the city of Dublin; and they therefore deal with a subject that may fall too easily the prey of emotion and moralist treatment. The difficulty of achieving objective treatment on such a topic is reinforced by a general, if at times theoretical, adherence in this country to ideas of egalitarianism-ideas which, in the face of inescapable evidence to the contrary, may culminate in the denial that distinctions of status or class are ever drawn in contemporary Ireland. In what follows, however, we have regarded distinctions of social status in their objective existence as real characteristics of Irish social organisation (as indeed they are); but we did not regard it as our task to arrive, in this’ context at any rate, at any moral or ethical evaluation of them.
