If any building could be considered to be the home of the Irish revolution, that building would be 6 Harcourt Street. It was here that Sinn Féin’s founder Arthur Griffiths first articulated the strategy of a separate Irish parliament and a policy of abstentionism from Westminster. Sinn Féin planned its seismic 1918 British general election victory from 6 Harcourt Street. On Saturday as part of the St Patrick’s Festival, 6 Harcourt Street will be open to the public for viewing. This will be to be celebrate and remember the first Dáil and the Dáil loan.
