Hi

I have a  family photo of Bobby Humphreys (St.Stephen Green) funeral there  was Guard of Honour, and Vinnie Bryne is there at the 3 Gun Salute, it looks like an Irish Press Photo -

Is Vinnie B. realted to Edward Byrne ?


Also I saw on this site that a member has issued a photo of the old IRA @ the Casino on Marino - there is about 50 people in the photo circa 1940's ;


You know the Howth Guns were stored in Father Mathews Park -  and they were brought to the GPO The morning of the Rising.  The Volunteers left Ft.Mathews Park, down by present day  Luke Kelly Bridge and at the corner of Clonlife Road, they came under fire from the Railway Bridge in Ballybough

The Volunteers took out the British Gun and made their way down to the GPO with the guns.

No, Vinnie and Edward (Eddie) Byrne were not related.

I always believed that Lord Charlemont's house  (Marino House)  is the current Kavanagh's Pub on the Malahide Road.

RE :  MARINO HOUSE

Hi Gaisgeach ;

I been researching the local history on Marino; and I know the history of the area like the back of my Hand. It has a very strong connection with 1916-

Kavannah's Pub, which I know well, is NOT Marino house.

The exact location of Marino House,  if you are walking down Brian Road  towards Marino Park.(From  Griffith Ave) There are two roads intersecting this road (Carleton Road + BrianAve). Between these  two roads was the exact  location of Marino House.  Marino House  was located Facing  towards West Wood Gym/Fairview Park. The entrance to Marino House would of been the opposite side of the road to Kavannaghs Pub.

"Marino Crescent" was build to block the view of Marino House (Charlemont) not the Casino after
a dispute. The Entrance of "Marino House" would of been on the opposite side of the Road from Kavannagh Pub. Marino House was owned by Thomas Adderly Charlemont's Step Father.

Marino House fell under the control of Christian Brothers, then  the Dublin Corporation. It was destroyed in 1926 to make way  for the Marino Housing Scheme.

The famous incident with the Howth Gun running and the clash with the crown forces happened on the Malahide Road outside  Marino House.

Croydon Park House, was the training ground of  the Irish Citizen Army was located  beside the D Walls. With the back of Croydon Park House  facing the "TOP CIRCLE" Croydon Park  i,e Fairview Scouts Hut.

Behind Fairview Church was Father Mathews Park, where the Irish Volunteers trained. All the main figures in the  1916 Rising would have trained or visited Marino, as it was where they trained and stored  guns for the rising.

CP , familiar with your directions as i'm from the area as is my mother and father. Its possible that my grandfather was in the gun running as he was  Fianna Boy scout at the time.

My father remembers cottages on philipsburgh ave. where the 'top shops' are today, up from the once 'Dolan's Farm. One of these cottages was a shop in the 40s.

Does you father have any old Photo's of Marino ?

You know there is/was a tunnels from the Casino to  Marino House;
it was here that  Michael Collins tested the first Automatic
Gun.

One of the gates to the Charletmont  estate was at Marino Mart
and there was a wall running around the  the estate, i.e
Kebab shop Fairview Library and up the Malahide road
to  the Casino.

The Skirmish withthe Gunrunning took place outside Kav;s
the guns were stored mainly Father Mathews Park and
in St.Mary College and a couple in the Yard of Marino House.
