The "Clergy and Parish" series by Rev James B Leslie contains details about Clergymen in the Church of Ireland (at one time the Anglican or Established Church).   

Martin Duffy's book "Barney and Molly - A True Dublin Love Story" should contain a few details about Dublin during the twentieth century. http://tinyurl.com/45ucuv

The 'Exploring Family Origins' Book Series offer you the opportunity to trace your family members in over thirty Irish towns between the years 1850 and 1940. These books have helped thousands of Irish people across the world find their Irish Roots and their family origins. Each book contains over 5,000 Irish families living in the streets and lanes of each specific town  - Irish Genealogy at its best. The books contains the following Genealogical records:
