Dublin of the Welcomes

Overview

This thinly veiled advertisement for Irish Sweepstake tickets was made for the US and UK market at a time when gambling was illegal in those territories. It opens with a whistle-stop tour of Dublin locations before showing massive Sweepstake operations – which employed thousands of female clerical workers in Ireland in the 1930s.
