- Abstract
This paper looks back at the situation of those with a learning disability in the early years of the last century. It paints a brief picture of the social background in Ireland at the time and then explores one of the best specific sources of information on disability of the period - the Report of the Royal Commission on the Care and Control of the Feeble-Minded 1908. While the bulk of this report was concerned with the state of affairs in Britain, it had an extensive and informative section on Ireland.
