Bereik en inhoud
A white saucer from the Imperial Hotel with the crest and edging in dark green.
The Imperial Hotel was destroyed by shells from the British gunboat Helga during the 1916 Rising. The hotel was built in 1837, and the site is now occupied by part of the Clery’s Department Store building. Jim Larkin was arrested in 1913 after sneaking into the Imperial Hotel in disguise to give a banned speech to workers gathered on O’Connell Street below – a coup against the authorities, and also against William Martin Murphy, leader of the Dublin employers, and one of the hotel’s owners.
