    I have heard that there are passages under Henrietta street from the time when the law courts were held in the kings inns and judges were living in the street and would use the tunnels to pass back and forth from the Chambers to their houses.

    Doubtful,
    Henrietta street was built before The Kings inns & when the kings inns was being completed henrietta street was already beginning to decline in stature after the act of union.

    There are actually two for sale (3 & 14)
    I doubt if The Kings Inns would need that much room & whether they would be appropriate for their uses.

    Looks more likely that Luce hall was built
    to match the orientation of the buildings directly south of it which in turn follow the East west orientation of the squares in Trinity

    I find Second hand/Bargain bookshops a good place to look rather than the main shops (H&figgis,waterstones & Easons)
    certainly cheaper
    Try chapters on Abbey street, the winding stair beside the halfpenny bridge (Northside)
    Paul recently mentioned a bookshop beside the Dome restaurent in the Stephens Green centre.
    There is also a small bookshop in the Georges arcade-got my Craig’s Dublin 1660-1860 there -strange place, It’s almost as if the owner didn’t like to sell his books
    You might find something in the Oxfam shop in Parliament street also

    Not forgetting the RIAI Bookshop in 8 Merrion square- not very inviting as bookshops go, but worth a visit.(mostly architecture books)

    Try this http://www.rimexmetals.com.au/

    They do have a supplier in Dublin
    one problem is if you have to weld the panels as it is difficult to get a seamless weld (more to do with the standard of welding)
    Can look very well though

    The lecture suffered a little through lack of time-a lot to cover in one lecture
    would have been a suitable subject for a series of lectures
    The dutch school and their influence on public housing in Dublin in the 1930’s
    The store house in Guinness’ and its influence from Chicago
    Lambay
    “Peter” Rice
    influence of emigrant young architects of the 40’s 50’s 60’s etc
    and so on

    The spelling may just have fallen out of use
    after a quick search

    “Desagulier, third Grand Master, held numerous patents and was awarded at the age of 60 the Copley Gold Medal for his continuing experiments on bridge construction, steam control and water supplies. He was Chaplain to the Duke of Chandos and demonstrated his scientific findings before George II. Fellow Hughenots brought many of the skills and manufacturing ideas which enabled the industrial revolution to occur in their new country. John Senex, as one example, was made SF’s Grand Warden and a Fellow of the Royal Society in the same year, 1727. Charts of the planets and constellations were his scientific speciality, and for his ‘improved’ world globes he was recommended to the Society by Dr Halley.”

    “This is a copy of letter written by J. (John) T. Faulk: “La. Ouachita18th of November 1866”
    Why this long silence between you and me wife and children? I feelthis day quite well in health and I now see fit to tell you fromwhence our family sprang and of the stock of people from which wecame. We came from Europe according to the words of our forefathers.In 1671, there was a province on the river Rhine, it lies betweenGermany and France; there was a large number of that province, thatprotested against the Roman Catholic order of religion who were called by way of reproach Hughenot Protestants.”
