The DIA says the fusiliers memorial id by Kathleen Shaw, 1906.

The Carberry memorial is at Findagrave, and a clearer pic says the sculptor is named TH Denanny (1901 census link)

Oh ! I have a photo (close up !) of the statue to the fusilier from 2011, it's in my Ireland 2011 folder: I'll post a link when I get to my pc ..later

Niall McAuley Kathleen Trousdell Shaw, thank you. We haven't had many women scupltors on here over the years. This is a perfect title... A Woman Among Men

54-56 Townsend Street, Dublin.

“…James established a mineral company at 54 to 56 Townsend
Street, Dublin circa 1867. He was Protestant Nationalist in favour of Home Rule and a campaigner for
Parnell. He was elected town councillor for the Trinity ward in 1883, deputy chairman of the Public
Health Committee in 1888, High Sheriff in 1891 and Lord Mayor of Dublin in 1893. The unveiling of the
Father Mathew statue sculpted Mary Redmond was one of his first public duties. Top sellers for the
company in 1892 were Shanks Hop bitters and Shanks Orange Champagne. He was a JP for County
Dublin and managing director of James Shanks and Co Ltd. He was a major shareholder, managing
director and licensee of the Grand International Hotel at Bray. The licence was transferred to Frank
Bethell in 1904. He was CEO of the International exhibition at Herbert Park in 1907. The company
became Walter Brights Ltd circa 1909 and a winding up the business of J Shanks and Co was issued in
1910..”

Which gives a rather broad date range of 1883 - 1910

Suck Diesel The date range is a start.

Suck Diesel I could do with a glass of the Shanks Hop bitters at the moment!

I think that WW2 really popularised Coke when they promised a Coke for every GI serving abroad by setting up mobile bottling plants

However, not everyone liked it at first taste
