'I hadn't done my homework on Ireland. I didn't know what I'd let myself in for'


 
When Corry de Jongh moved to Ireland more than four decades ago she was young, adventurous and ready for a new challenge. Having lived in the Dominican Republic and worked with Chilean refugees in the Netherlands, the Dutch clinical psychologist moved to Dublin after falling in love with an Irish man. However, life on this small island as a woman in the mid-1970s was a harsh wake-up call.
“I didn’t grow up as a Catholic, I came from a very liberal Lutheran family. I didn’t even know there was no divorce in Ireland, I hadn’t done my homework. I didn’t know what I’d let myself in for.
