It is safe to say that dark clouds appeared over the Custom House many times over its 230 year history. These horrible clouds floated over the desks of the decision makers in this very house, bringing anguish to Ireland’s people. They also brought their misery to the environs around the building on the quays, the back streets and the bridges.
