Mondays at the Mess: ‘Weaving in the Liberties’ with Cathy Scuffil

Mondays at the Mess is a series of talks at Richmond Barracks, Inchicore that celebrate the rich stories and experiences of the local community, past and present. Place Names such as Weaver’s Square, Newmarket, Cross-Stick Alley, and The Tenters to name but a few, all hint at the once great weaving tradition that did so much to shape The Liberties of Dublin. The weaving story wasn’t always smooth and even, it was affected by external decisions such as the imposition of tariffs on Irish exports by Britain and the Act of Union in 1801 and today has all but died out. This talk, led by Cathy Scuffil, Dublin City Council Historian In Residence for Dublin South Central and South East areas highlights the evidence of this booming industry in The Liberties that stretches back to Viking times and looks at how it may now be a key feature in the ongoing regeneration of this area. Richmond Barracks is a building of historical importance located in Inchicore. It is home to a library, garden, cafe and Culture Connects, a programme of cultural activities that celebrate the experiences and interests of the local communities and people. Culture Connects is a year-round programme that invites people in Dublin to try out new things. We offer ways for people to make and create together, to share ideas, and connect through culture and conversation. Culture Connects is made by Dublin City Council Culture Company Richmond Barracks is owned by Dublin City Council and run by Dublin City Council Culture company.
