    beachcomber australia Donegal Carpets closed in 1987, according to your Wikipedia article, but...
    Local Donegal people petitioned the government to help re-open them in 1997 and in 1999 they were making carpets again for places such as Áras an Uachtaráin, Dublin Castle and the University of Notre Dame.
    HUZZAH!

    Construction must have finished by August 1883, because that's when the contractor was selling off all his stuff
