A History of Royal British Legion social clubs in Dublin & Wicklow is here. Structures in Killester, Inchicore & Enniskerry still stand….
…Has anyone more information about Legion Halls (long gone) in Balbriggan, Shankill, Harold’s Cross & possibly Swords and Donatabe?
Anyone?

In the 1930’s in Kilkenny the Legion ran candidates for election to the local council. One of their objectives was to help obtain employment for Legion members
Why? Did they run out of foreigners to shoot?
The Freemasons may also know. They have a lot of old archives that may include such entries.
