This is the midwife of Monto, Mrs Dunleavey. 1 of the most amazing stories I was told about her would make a fantastic film. She helped to deliver a lot of the babies in the red light district of Monto. She befriended a young woman married a few weeks before the 1913 lockout 1/3 https://t.co/yJ0uDyr6Lh

This Day in Irish History
@ThisDayIrish
This day 100 years ago – 30 June 1922 – centuries' worth of Irish documentation was lost when the Public Record Office in the Four Courts was blown up in a battle between pro- and anti-Treaty forces.
Among the records were wills dating back to 1500 and deeds as far back as 1174. https://t.co/tB1XxmFeC2
