Built in the early 20th century for intinerant Irish workers, many of the residents have been displaced from their home country and suffer from mental and physical disabilities, largely alcoholism. O'Callaghan's work reveals the humour and companionship the men derive from their shared experience, both in the refuge and on their sponsored return trips to Ireland.
