1468.0. "Ernest Gebler" by XSTACY::JLUNDON (http://xagony.ilo.dec.com/~jlundon :-)) Tue Apr 04 1995 10:01

I am looking for the titles of any books by Ernest Gebler which were 
(or are still) banned in Ireland?  He was at one time the husband of 
Edna O'Brien FYI.

    I don't want to start a rathole here but what are the criteria for a
    book being banned in Ireland ?
    
    (I presume they'd only be banned in the south...          :-) )

    Lord don't start me !...criteria fo banning a book in the south!....
    Author doesn't worship the catholic church, mention Sex,drugs or rock and
    roll...-) -) -)
    
    seriously. Not as bad as it was ..But the above criteria were not far
    off around the time the authors mentioned in the base note were writing
    
    Only serious banning now is on information on pregnancy
    termination (ie abortion)..(its not only banned here but getting
    INFORMATION ie phone numbers of clinics outside the state.)..Yes you
    can be locked away..
