Historic Tom Clarke "as gaeilge" shopfront to be restored
Diumenge, 11/07/2021 55 Amiens Street shopfront in its current state / Liffey
The Minister of State for Heritage and Electoral Reform, Malcolm Noonan, TD, along with the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Catherine Martin TD, and the Government Chief Whip and Minister of State, for the Gaeltacht and Sport, Jack Chambers TD, today announced joint funding of €50,000 under the Irish-language shopfront stream of the Historic Structures Fund (HSF) for conservation and restoration works at 55 Amiens Street, in Dublin's North Inner City.
No. 55 Amiens Street is a building of great historic significance due to its connection with the Irish Republican, Tom Clarke, who operated a tobacconist here from 1908 – 1911. Today’s funding will contribute to the conservation and restoration of the original Irish-language shopfront, while supporting the structural works necessary to safeguard this part of the building. It will also assist with the reinstatement of the gilded sign-writing on the shop windows. The funded works will help commemorate an important era of Irish history and are part of an overall plan to bring this historic, protected building back into use. The project is being overseen by Dublin City Council and, on completion, the building will house community, cultural and social enterprise.

100 years ago the British regime executed six IRA Volunteers in Mountjoy Jail, Dublin. They were hanged on the morning of 14 March as tens of thousands of people, including their families, gathered outside the prison and as hundreds of thousands of workers staged a half-day general strike in protest.
The six men were tried by the British Army at Field General Courts Martial in the Council Chamber of Dublin’s City Hall. The City Hall had been seized by the British Army the previous December because the City Council had pledged allegiance to Dáil Éireann and the Irish Republic. Now in a callous and calculated act, the very chamber where the Council met was used to put on trial six soldiers of the Republic, their judges being officers of the Army they had fought against.
