History of Corrib RoadThe Guinness Company constructed Corrib Road as part of a housing initiative in the late forties. The housing initiative was prompted by a survey of the Company’s employees in 1947, which highlighted that a large number of married men were suffering serious housing difficulties. Indeed, single men who wanted to get married were discouraged from doing so because of the accommodation shortages. There were two designs to the houses, A-type houses, designed for southern and eastern aspects, had the living room to the front, while the B-type houses, fronted north and west, had the living room, kitchen and main bedrooms at the back so as to catch the maximum sunlight. The first house was occupied on 8th August 1949 and the estate had its own playground. Employees paid a weekly rent of 25/- (shillings). In the fifties, the housing board awarded annual prizes for the best gardens on the housing estate. From 1969 tenants had the opportunity to buy the houses and shortly thereafter all the houses were sold.Accommodation
