I wonder if your dad went to Rutland St school.
By the way, your Dad might remember the Green Kilt better by it's old name of Cribban's. He might remember a well loved local that played the piano in the pubs, Dickie Doran from Summerhill.
The dealer name was Kathleen Dean

Before that it was known as Cassidy's back through the War of Independence. I have a photo somewhere (may be in the old b&w photos of Dublin) of British soldiers erecting a knife rest (barbed wire) checkpoint on the road outside of that pub, on the corner of Summerhill and Mid Gardiner Street.
Facing the Rose Bowl used to be another pub, the Green Kilt, formerly Cribbins.'Never look down on a person unless you're helping them up'.

Originally posted by Thomas Leavey View PostI'll ask him if he knew them. My wife's uncles occasionally drank there. They were McCanns from Josephs Mansions, Fran and Billa. Sadly both also passed away. i think the one of the barmen was called Bluer as I often heard Dad talk about him.
