Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2003 / April 24 2003: Rising house backdated to 18th century

Dublin City Council was misinformed by senior officials about the vintage of a building in Moore Street which served as the last headquarters of the 1916 Rising, An Taisce said yesterday. The councillors were told that the building, which is scheduled for demolition, dated from the 19th century. However An Taisce has verified that it actually dates from the early 18th century.
