The spectre of Partition still looms over Griffith. Shoulda never signed that damned treaty ;)
Hah..very good
Surprised he didn’t live on Griffith Avenue.
Oh wait.
I hope the spectre of Griffith haunts whichever slumlord owns it.
I thought Griffith died of a brain haemorrhage.
Only 51 he was.
Sorry, Spaghetti, fixed now. Thank you. I’m having a day of it.
You need a holiday with the girls over in Magaluf, Bodger ;)
Too cold for Shagaluf this time of year. The girls are all off to Lanzarotty!!
I wonder how much it was in 1911?
History has attributed much to Griffith, undeservedly so.
He wasn’t there during the Census on 2 April 1911… http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Dublin/Clontarf_East/St__Laurence_Road/4229/ – must have moved in later in the year.
He wasn’t necessarily the owner; renting was affordable then, and it was the norm to rent your home for many years, or to skip around from house to house.
I wonder when the next census to that will be released online; every now and again there’s a tempting promise, but th’oul tenterhooks are getting faded and blunt at this stage.
€76, 776?!! What the…
