Art rock group from Cork founded by Cathal Coughlan, who played at Microdisney before that time.The name Fatima Mansions is taken from a Dublin area built in 1949 intended to meet the housing need in the centre of the Irish capital.
At first that worked out well, but after a few years the district ran down by poverty and drug abuse and it became a slum.
Recently however the district got a makeover. All is well that ends well.
