One Hundred Years Ago . . .

On this day one hundred years ago municipal elections took place in Dublin . Among the unsuccessful candidates was Caledon Road resident Walter Carpenter (http://eastwallforall.ie/?p=324)  a prominent socialist and Trade unionist.

Pictured above is  Eamon Carpenter ,a grandson of Walter , with a reproduction of 1914 election material.  The East Wall History Group were delighted to meet Eamon recently , where he shared stories about his family and their role during the revolutionary period , including his Grandfather and his own father, Peter , who served in the G.P.O. in 1916.
We will be publishing this material later in the year , which we are sure will make great reading.
