    It's a block of council flats now. Edit: Actually, the council flats seem to be on bishop's lane and the barracks are DIT.
  • Swordscookie said:
    The Linenhall Barracks was located on Linenhall Street just off Bolton Street in Dublin. One of the great and unsung battles of 1916 took place nearby and involved troops stationed in the Linenhall.

    Part of the newspaper article (link above) - " ... NOTABLE SPEECH BY THE ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN. The demonstration wound up with a meeting in Smithfield, which was addressed by Dr. Douglas Hyde and the Most Rev. Dr Walsh, who had viewed the procession from one or two points of vantage. After having referred to the good order and dignity which marked the proceedings from first to last, his Grace said he always had reason to be proud of the people of Dublin, but he never had better reason to be proud of them than he had that day. At one time Dublin was known as the City of the Pale. Later on it was the chief centre and home of the English colony in Ireland, but within the past few years, thanks to the splendid energy of the Gaelic League, which had found expression in that vast assemblage, Dublin had become the chief seat and centre of one of the strongest forces that were at work for the restoration of the life of the Irish nation. ... " Can anyone spot the Archbishop ?

    The buildings on the right are probably the only buildings from that time that are still standing in Smithfield. It's unrecognizable otherwise. maps.app.goo.gl/inBHemdGLYVRum2x9

    Dublin Evening Telegraph - Thursday 02 March 1905 described what was in store in th e Great Industrial Exhibition which was part of Irish Language Week.
    Messrs. H. Holahan and Co., Skippers alley, are sending a really beautiful display of artistic wicker chairs and three tableaux, armchairs of cream rush and enamelled cane of Celtic interlaced decorative design; also upholstered wicker armchairs of Carrickmacross and Co. Louth willows. Messrs. Holahan are preparing to develop the growing of willow, on a very large scale in Ireland. In the production of his Irish work he is enabled to best the English market hollow.
  • John Spooner said:
    The display must have brought plenty of business because a couple of weeks later they were advertising for new staff
