    Irish Independent, 6 May 1921, 3, has two other photos of the warehouse, with this caption: "Views of the ruined goods store of the British and Irish Steam Packet Co. at the North Wall, resulting from the fire following the destruction by armed men of motor tyres consigned to the military. Hundreds of tyres (picture on left) were destroyed." The second photo shows a DMP man, possibly the same one pictured here. The warehouse was designed by George Papworth (1781-1855): www.dia.ie/works/view/37287/building/CO.+DUBLIN%2C+DUBLIN...

    It was the evening of Sunday 10 June 1917, according to the Sydney Morning Herald of 12/6/17 p.7 - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/15714554
    A later message states:- An attempt to hold a prohibited meeting in Dublin on Sunday evening culminated in a riot. When Count Plunkett and a man named Brugha drove up in a motor near Liberty Hall, about 1000 surged round the car. Brugha called out "The British Government will not allow us freedom of speech." A police-man pulled him from the car. Plunkett tried to stop the mob from shouting, he also was arrested. Meanwhile, the police dispersed the greater part of the mob. Inspector Mills was escorting the prisoners when someone felled him with a stick. He died later.

    Wystan The "troubles" typically refers to the time from the 1960s to 1990s.

    This photo [between ca. 1910 and ca. 1915], would have been taken in the run up to the 1916 Easter Rising.
  • Peter Brown said:
    "The Troubles" originally referred to the period 1919 to 1922 in Ireland, following on from the 1916 Rising. It began to be used for the Northern Ireland conflict in the 1970s.

    This looks like a car on the Hill of Howth tramway:

    Sutton to the Hill of Howth, which ran from 1901 to 1959.
