Re: O'RIORDAN                         .  thanks again dathai .that pension stuff makes facinating reading , and I was searching high and low for a mention of Michael and knew nothing about Joseph. He must have lied about his age as he was only 17 in 1922 ,shot accidentally at the telephone exchange in crown alley. It looks like I have found one of those cases of 2brothers on opposite sides of the civil war . Michael was anti  in 2nd battalion.. Joseph was national army.

Although both were in na Fianna  and I can't find Joseph in army census ,so not finished yet..               Robbie.

Irish 1922 Army census taken on 12/13th Nov 1922 a few weeks after Joseph's death.

I have put a couple of photos of my dad on a couple of sites partly as it is the 100th anniversary of the RAF. Also because a lady has been on who's grandfather was in the hotel at Northwall with my dad. I am not sure when these photos were taken assume 1922/3 after he must have been retired from the RIC or whatever happened to them? This is how he must of looked while on sentry duty that day.

Hello all,

Looking for the name of a pub that has closed down in Capel Street, Dublin

I last visited the pub approx  8-9 years ago with my father

The pub was at the very top of Capel Street on the left-hand side as you walked up from the Liffey, I am sure it was the last building on the corner

Regards

Hello dathai,

Many thanks for your prompt response as always

That is definitely the pub but that was not its name when we visited, I am sure it was called the Four something? but I could be wrong

It was a locals pub when we visited, not many in, but we were made very welcome when I told them my father and his family used to live a few doors down the road, no 56 Capel Street

Much appreciated with the google street map link
