Tours of Tailors Hall, Dublin

Built in 1706, Home to the Master Guild of Tailors from then until 1840, the Hall is one of the oldest public buildings in Ireland and has been used for classes, talks, meetings, and as a school and courthouse. Today it is still in use for community and private events.

The hall was also a hotbed of revolutionary activity in the lead up to the 1798 rebellion. Here, Theobald Wolfe Tone and James Napper Tandy met, forming what became known as the Back Lane Parliament in 1792, agitating for votes to be extended to Catholics. This was the genesis of the United Irishmen, which quickly became a proscribed, underground organisation.
