Mr. John A. Costello, who, with Mr. P. McGilligan (instructed by Messrs. Meagher) state that he would put forward the proposition that on the new corner. where the road would eventually emerge, Mt. Meagher should be given site by the Corporation. Mr. Meagher had paid £7,600 for the premises, and was making £2.000 a year out of them. If it was possible for the Corporation to give Mr. Meagher that alter- native site, he was prepared to spend the sum of £6,000 in rebuilding and re-fitting the new licensed premises. In reply to Mr. Rice, Mr. Meagher stated that when he bought the premises in 1935 he did not think there was any scheme contemplated at that time. Mr.’ M. J.

Sheila O Hanlon

Sheila O’Hanlon was the wife of Gilbert Lynch and a member of Cumann na mBan. She was born in 1895 in Camac Place in Dolphin’s Barn and was one of 77 women arrested during the 1916 rising and held at Richmond Barracks. She passed away in 1970 in Crumlin. As part of Richmond Barracks’ 1916 commemoration project, the team there are hoping to find out anything they can about Sheila’s life or to speak to her relatives or family. If anyone has any information or contact details we would be very grateful, and if you drop us a line we will put you in touch with them directly.

Nancy Cullen of Cook Street, whose childhood memories are quoted on page 5 in Chapter 1, was a very good friend of the O’Hanlon family.
• On Easter Saturday 1916, Con Colbert was in the O’Hanlon’s house in Camac Place and he asked Mrs O’Hanlon if she would name her baby after him when it was born. She promised to do so boy or girl, and Sheila’s youngest sister was christened Con in July 1916, in memory of him. Con was known as Connie, and most people incorrectly assumed that she was named after Constance Markievicz.
• Margaret Kennedy, known as Louis, was a great friend to the O’Hanlons. She was godmother to Sheila’s son and gave her rosary beads to Sheila’s niece in 1952. She had a ‘price on her head’ for years.
• Sheila and Mollie O’Hanlon had a brother called Luke who was in the Fianna.[Photo available from website]
https://hiddenheroesofeasterweek.wordpress.com/more-information/
Kennedy mobilised at 10 a.m. on Easter Monday at Cleaver Hall in Donore
Avenue. The hall was being used by the Gaelic League at the time. With at least
eight other women she was sent to the home of Sheila O’Hanlon, fellow Inghinidhe
member, in Dolphin’s Barn to collect first aid equipment and other
essential material. After obtaining the equipment she and her comrades returned
to Emerald Square and marched off behind members of ‘A’ Company, 4th Battalion,
Irish Volunteers and made their way to Marrowbone Lane Distillery.

Sheila O’Hanlon (later Lynch)
BORN: Dublin, 1895
ORGANISATION: Cumann na mBan (Inghinidhe branch)
POSITION DURING EASTER RISING: Marrowbone
Lane Distillery
Sheila O’Hanlon was born in Dublin in 1895, the daughter of James and Rose O’Hanlon. She was christened Julia but later changed her name to the Irish spelling of Sheila. She lived with her family in No. 7 Dolphin’s Barn. Her father was a commercial clerk and in the 1911 census her occupation was noted as dressmaker. She and her sister Mollie joined the Inghinidhe branch, Cumann na mBan in 1915. Prior to the Easter Rising O’Hanlon provided accommodation in her home for Volunteers who had come from England and also held rifles there. On Easter Monday she was ordered by Eamonn Ceannt to mobilise her own squad, six women in all, at Cleaver’s Hall, after which she brought first aid supplies from her home in to the Marrowbone Lane Distillery where she served throughout the Rising, holding the rank of Squad Commandery Arrested after the surrender, O’Hanlon was held with her comrades in Richmond Barracks and later Kilmainham Gaol. She was released on 8 May. O’Hanlon immediately rejoined the Inghinidhe branch, still holding the rank of Squad Commander and helped in its reorganisation. She collected money for the Prisoners’ Dependents’ Fund with responsibility for collections in Inchicore, South Circular Road and New Street. She also took part in all public parades and demonstrations including the funeral of Thomas Ashe in September 1917 and the
anti-conscription demonstrations in 1918. Like most members of Cumann na mBan, O’Hanlon helped campaign for Sinn Féin in the 1918 General Election. Members of the Inghinidhe branch carried out all the pre-election work in No. 6 Harcourt
Street.98 During the election, Cumann na m Ban established first aid stations through-out the city. O’Hanlon was on duty at the first aid station in both Ballyboden and Camden Street.
During the War of Independence she was chosen to carry out ‘special duties’ for Margaret ‘Loo’ Kennedy, Commandant of the Inghinidhe branch. This work entailed taking messages to officers of the District Council, Cumann na mBan relating to meetings and mobilisations. While carrying out this work O’Hanlon  was regularly stopped and searched by the military, but nothing was ever found onher? She was later attached to the IRA Intelligence Unit, Dublin Brigade carrying out surveillance on suspected spies. Women were vital in storing and transportin weapons and ammunition fox the IRA. On one occasion O’Hanlon was requested to bring a machine gun to Nassau Street. ‘Ihe gun was too big to be taken in one go and she successfully dismantled the weapon and in three separate journeys brought the gun to its destination safely. While this work was carried out by women to great effect, it was in the field ofpropaganda that they were to prove themselves experts. Ihanks to the women the Irish Bulletin, the daily republican newssheet, was delivered, without fail, throughout the country and around the world, highlighting the conditions in Ireland which were not being reported in the mainstream media. O’Hanlon and her comrades would regularly carry out this work at night while also posting republican handbills and writing republican slogans on walls in prominent places all over the city. Throughout this time her home in was regularly raided by the Crown forces, but she was never arrested. When the Anglo-Irish Treatywas signed O’Hanlon, with most ofher comradesin the Inghinidhe branch, refused to accept it and fought with the anti-Treaty forces in the Civil War. During the fighting in Dublin between 28 June and S July 1922 she served in the Minerva Hotel and later in Tara Hall, Gloucester Street administering first aid to wounded anti-Treaty men. She also delivered dispatches between Oscar Traynor’s headquarters in ‘”Ihe Block’ on O’Connell Street and Tom Derrig, a member ofthe anti-Treaty IRA Executive who was based in Fleming’s Hotel in Bray. After Catha Brugha was fatally wounded in the fighting, O’Hanlon was a member of the Guard of Honour on duty with his remains in the Mater Hospital and also took part in the procession at his funeral on IO July. Although the main battle for Dublin was over in a short time, the anti-Treaty forces were still very active and between July 1922 and October 1923, O’Hanlon worked as a courier attached to the anti-Treaty IRA GHQ and from 1923 she worked directly for Frank Aiken who, on the death of Liam Lynch in April 1923, became ChiefofStaffofthe anti-Treaty forces. O’Hanlon was arrested by the pro-Treaty forces in October 1923 while delivering dispatches. She was taken to the North Dublin Union (N DU) but still had on her person the dispatches she was meant to deliver.
After her release it seems O’Hanlon did not take part in any further republican activities. She married Gilbert Lynch, a member of the Irish Volunteers and a veteran of the Rising in 1924/25 and lived in Crumlin. Gilbert Lynch was a former president of the Irish Trade Union Council and, up to his retirement in 1957, national organiser of the Amalgamated Transport and General Workers’ Union. In 1927 he was elected
Fianna Fåil TD for Galway and took part in the negotiations which resulted in the decision of the Fianna Fåil Party to enter Dåil Éireann. He and his wife Sheila had three sons and two daughters. Sheila Lynch died in 1970 aged seventy-five.

Albert Rutherford
Writing in support of the claim by Albert Rutherford, of Camac Place in Dublin, his commanding officer, Joseph O’Connor, stated: “He was always very good humoured and quite undisturbed in the face of danger. He was an efficient section commander and afterwards a capable and popular officer. He carried out his duties no matter how irksome without a murmur and took all the risks attendant on being an active volunteer from the first to the last. It is no exaggeration to say he seemed to enjoy the ‘Terror’ and always volunteered for extra patrol work in 1920 and 21.”

Luke Doyle – Ulysses James Joyce

“Once, in 1887, after a protracted performance of charades in the house of Luke Doyle, Kimmage, he had awaited with patience the apparition of the diurnal phenomenon, seated on a wall, his gaze turned in the direction of Mizrach, the east.”
Kimmage is a separate suburb nearly a mile south of Dolphin’s Barn. It is not clear why Joyce should have located Doyle in both places, though perhaps he had in mind an address located somewhere in between. In The Chronicle of Leopold and Molly Bloom, John Henry Raleigh observes that Clive Hart and Leo Knuth “say there was a real Luke Doyle, a building surveyor, who lived at Camac Place, more properly described as being in Dolphin’s Barn, rather than in Kimmage” (85). The fictional couple at that address were “Luke and Caroline Doyle,” whom Ithaca mentions as having given the Blooms a wedding present. “Henny Doyle,” whose torn overcoat Bloom used as a charades clue, may have been one of their grown children, or perhaps Luke’s brother. Molly thinks of him in Penelope as “an unlucky man” who was always “breaking or tearing something in the charades.”

https://www.joyceproject.com/notes/chap/notes/040041dolphinsbarn.htm

Doyle, Luke (1827-85) Building surveyor
‘In Luke Doyle’s long ago. Dolphin’s Barn, the charades. U. p: up.’ (8.274) Luke Doyle lived at 4 Londonbridge Road, Irishtown from 1856 until 1867 before moving to 8 Dolphin’s Barn, Dublin where he lived with his wife Caroline Mary. By 1883 they had moved to a larger residence Mount Brown House, 4 Mount Brown, Kilmainham, Dublin.
Doyle began his career as a carpenter and builder, and later became a loss adjuster, workingwith insurance companies in the business arep of Dame Street. From 1850 until 1855 he had an office at 8 Anglesea Street and then moved to 9 Temple Bar in 1856 where he remained until his death. A close friend of John Stanislaus Joyce, Doyle died on 27 August 1885 at Mount Brown House and was buried in Goldenbridge Cemetery, Dublin [GG 22
