Hello Karen,
Presumably you know that Weir & Sons (founded in 1869) is one of Dublin's biggest jewellers with a huge shop on the prestigious Grafton Street.
http://www.weirandsons.ie/
You can contact the company via the website.

Yes you are connected. Weir and Sons produced a detailed booklet in 1994 decscribing the history of the business and the family. It is an excellent production and I hope you manage to get a copy as all your questions will be answered therin. I was researching a relative that working in a jewellers in Grafton Stree but was not able to pin her down to that shop as no personnel records for time in question,
Good luck!

Weir and Son of Grafton St produced a commemorative booklet in 1994 outlining history of company from 1869. You will have to ask them directly for a copy as it was their own publication and 'not for sale'.
Let me know how you get on!
