Talk by Geraldine Duignan – 'The Monto' : Dublin's Darker Side 1860 - 1925. Mallow

Date/Time: Tuesday 13 January 2025 at 20:00

Location: Mallow GAA Complex, Carrigoon, Mallow, Co. Cork. P51 XV58.

Additional Information: Organised by Mallow Field Club, Geraldine Duignan, ATGI Tour Guide, will give a talk on ‘The Monto’. 

All welcome.



Monto was the nickname for the one-time red light district in Dublin. It was roughly the area bounded by today’s Talbot Street, Amiens Street, Gardiner Street and Seán McDermott Street (formerly Gloucester Street). The name is derived from Montgomery Street (now called Foley Street), which runs parallel to the lower end of Talbot Street towards what is now Connolly Station

As far back as the early 1800’s, this area was noted for its ‘great number of destitute poor, dissolute and depraved characters’ of both sexes. The Mecklenburgh/Montgomery district of the city, north-east of the Custom House, marked the infamous ‘Monto’ district. After the 1870s women began to move into cheaper accommodation available in the Lower Mecklenburgh Street area eventually rented out the flats in the Georgian houses and turning them into brothels.

In its heyday from the 1860s – 1920s, there were anything up to 1,600 prostitutes working there at any one time, with all classes of customers catered for. It was reputed to be the biggest red light district in Europe at the time. Its financial viability was aided by the number of British Army barracks and hence soldiers in the city, notably the Royal Barracks, later Collins Barracks.
