The ruins of the 1916 leader The O’Rahilly’s former home in BallsbridgeThe grandson of the 1916 leader known as The O'Rahilly has claimed the demolition of his former home in Ballsbridge yesterday morning was illegal. In response to a query by the Herald, DCC said it was investigating the circumstances surrounding the demolition. "Once the city council has ascertained the facts it will take any appropriate action," a spokeswoman said. They did it at dawn, just like the leaders of the Rising were executed at dawn," Mr Ó Rathaille added. My heart sank when I saw the pictures of the house after it was knocked down," he said.
