The handover of Beggars Bush Barracks, Haddington Road, Dublin 4.

Janet writes:

Tomorrow, 100 years ago, Beggars Bush Barracks, where the National Print Museum is located, became the first military barracks to be handed over to the new National Army by the departing British forces. Lively crowds gathered to observe the National Army detachment as it marched from the Phoenix Park to Beggars Bush. Read a contemporaneous account from The Irish Times here.

Was it for this?

Only you can decide.

Trinity College Dublin Alumni Office tweetz:

“Might this (above) be your great-great-granny’s birth certificate?

“The destruction of seven centuries of Ireland’s recorded history in the Four Courts blaze of 1922 (top) was one of the great tragedies of the Irish Civil War.

“The day after, charred documents salvaged from the wreckage were packed into 300 boxes and sent to storage for 100 years.

“Now, a Trinity team is using technology to decipher records once thought lost forever, gather copies from around the world, and create a Virtual Record Treasury to open 30 June 2022, centenary of the fire.

In fairness.
