Olympia 11th July 1921 Truce - Mercier Press

Newspaper boys, assorted urchins, mini-gunmen, segregated ‘shopgirls’ and a bike-scoping tyke outside The Olympia Theatre, Dame Street, Dublin 1921

Noelle, of the Olympia writes:

“One for Broadsheet’s Irish history buffs This was taken outside Dublin Castle, across from The Olympia Theatre, on 11th July 1921, the day the Truce of the Irish War of Independence came into effect. We can’t believe that our theatre was captured on such a historical day…Thanks to Mercier Archives, Mercier Press, Cork for giving us the permission to reproduce this image.”
