Can you help with this

[Vita Brevis]

I have a 16 year old on the 1901 census, under his occupation he is listed  ‘G Perry Factory’ and a 13 yr old at ‘Limerick House, Georges St’.  Both are living in the Merchants Quay area of Dublin.  Can anyone help shed some light on what these two establishments were?  I have done some ‘google’ searches but can’t find anything that helps.  Many thanks VB

Can you post Links to them on Census?

Possibility...

A Dublin newspaper article of 19 April 1901, about improperly labelled margarine being sold, cited the premises as the 'Limerick House' at 52 South Great George's Street.

Early 1900s, a George Perry & Co. Ltd. were operating factories in Camden Row and Grafton Street as packing case makers and trunk makers.
