Abstract
How did the early punk rock movement challenge the values of the dominant Catholic Church in the Republic of Ireland? How did young people reconcile the apparently opposed beliefs of some punk groups and the Irish clergy? This article explores the complex and often surprising ways in which the Church and punk interacted with each other in the 1977–1981 period.
