That headline; it’s a cracker!
Heheheh
You got the wrong place. The Boland’s Mill of 1916 fame is where the Treasury Building now stands.
Thanks, Sara, fixed now.
No problem, invoice is in the post.
Jacobs & Bolands went on to merger and become Irish Biscuits in Tallaght.
Now it’s all Nestlé.
I learnt how to swim in the swimming pool in Jacob’s on Bishops Street.
First swimming pool of my life.
I nearly drowned, twice.
– good times!
(Now it’s a flipping library, and I have to look the other way whenever I pass by it on the bus, looking at Kevin Street Garda station instead… That hurts!)

When you see YOUR OWN heritage being stolen and there’s nobody to scream at…

They REALLY DID have a swimming pool inside the building.
I should know… as I said it was the first two times I almost drowned. You never forget that kinda stuff.
…and I still can’t swim.
I just eat cakes and drift upside down, smoking “cigars”.
I don’t need a swimming pool to float.
I’m terrified of the ocean.
All of them.
I don’t even like sand.
Sunshine is everywhere.
Look for it, but don’t look at it.
