Due to your kind help, this would be the location of no 19 Newmarket St circa 1913, the home of Nellie Bushell who would listen to the work's composed by Peadar Kearney and Patrick Heeney famous for Ireland's National anthem.
Heeney and Kearney would often walk in the Dublin Mountain's composing song's, when the weather was bad the duo would visit their friend Nellie Bushell for her opinion on their works, so its fair to assume that Nellie was the first woman to hear the duo's rendition of 'A soldiers song' which became the National anthem.
Sadly in 1911 Patrick Heeney passed away aged 29 in Jervis st hospital, he died in Poverty.
Peadar Kearney, died in 1942 aged 58.
Nellie Bushell, died in 1948.
