It's a long way to Tipperary!

    I wonder is this related to the Emmet Street unpleasentness we had a couple of years ago. www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/8558487905/

    There's a Patrick O'Neill, Tailor, in Emmet Street in 1911. I don't see anything like this building there though.

    On the lozenge shaped posters there is mention of "O'Neills, William O'Brien Street, Tipperary"????? I love this shot, a great selection of items on display on what appears to be a wet day with no regard for the damp on the cotton and wool products! The bustle on the lady in the poster might give a clue as to the date?

    If it's advertising O'Brien Street, then this is presumably elsewhere. Maybe it's one of the buildings in the Marketplace.

    If this building was also known as the "Irish House" in Tipperary (as the signs suggest), then it appears to have been destroyed by British Forces in the War of Independence in reprisal for an ambush at Lisnagaul in Nov 1920. Compensation for the loss was later discussed in the Dáil in 1925: href="http://oireachtasdebates.oireachtas.ie/debates%20authoring/debateswebpack.nsf/takes/dail1925061800007"rel="nofollow">oireachtasdebates.oireachtas.ie/debates%20authoring/debat... EDIT: Since B-59 has found images of the 'old' Irish House and the 'new' Irish House in the Pall Mall Gazette (see below), we can now suggest that it was the three-storey Irish House on Main Street that was destroyed in November 1920, not the building in the image above.

The O'Neill's burial place

    Cleveland Indians' catcher Steve O'Neil photographed at Ebbets Field during the 1920 World Series. Note the black mourning band on the left sleeve of O'Neill's uniform. The black arm band on the Indians' uniforms was worn in memory of former teammate Ray Chapman (1891-1920), who died earlier in the 1920 baseball season in August after being struck in the head by a pitch thrown by Yankees' pitcher Carl Mays during a game at the Polo Grounds. Chapman remains the only player to die as a result of an in-game injury suffered during a Major League Baseball game.
