We attended the opening of 'A Form of Justice: the Four Courts Marshalsea, Dublin' this evening, an exhibition currently at the Irish Architectural Archive. Particularly glad to have been able to provide contemporary plans from our Maps, Plans & Drawings Collection (1702 - 2007)

Delighted to be involved and to be in attendance this afternoon. Best of luck to a brilliant team and a brilliant museum.

...the foot and ankle from the statue of William of Orange. Once a symbol of Protestant dominance, it stood at College Green from 1701 until it was blown up by the IRA in 1928. It also has a connection to a most famous Dubliner, James Joyce, who referenced it in The Dead.

Excited to be collaborating with @littlemuseumdub as they reopen today at their refurbished St Stephen's Green site. Several items with #Dublin connections from our Bro. Allen Collection will be on exhibition there shortly, alongside this unusual artefact currently on display...

We are delighted to be working in partnership with the National Collection of Aerial Photography on the preservation and digitisation of our extensive collection of aerial photography. militaryarchives.ie/en/news-and-ev… @defenceforces @IrishAirCorps #aerial #photography #military #history

In July 1935, the 3rd Infantry Battalion, held a successful “Smoker” in McDonagh Barracks, Curragh Camp. The function was an opportunity to celebrate the successes of the Battalion in varied sporting spheres, especially rifle marksmanship. "Dilis go Bráth" curragh.info/archives/The3r…

In February 1941, the students of Cross and Passing Convent, Kilcullen, presented the operetta "Tangles'' at the Gymnasium Curragh Camp. The cast was supported by Mr. McNamara on violin from Kilcullen, Corporal F. Harrigan (tenor) and No. 3 Army Band. curragh.info/archives/Opere…
