...Adamstown is one of scores of developments that sprang up across Ireland during the country's boom years in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Families and young professionals quickly snapped up properties in what was to be the first complete new "town" to be built in Ireland in more than 20 years.

They were drawn like moths by a fiery controversy over the BBC's decision to invite Nick Griffin, the leader of the extremist British National Party, to join the debate. The taxi driver was determined to share his opinions on the matter, no matter that his passenger was dreamily communing with her iPod...
