About
Mandy decided to investigate her own Irish heritage after a long career in the Social Housing sector from seeing and hearing about other people’s lives.
She completed extensive historical, social-economic and political research for The Cause. Concentrating on the views of people who lived through that time. Gathering personal experiences and seeking public records, regarding the experience of being Irish in London during the troubles.
She also used her personal experience of her being brought up in 1970s & 1980s London and spending her summers “at home in Ireland.”
