Dublin Castle Handover
16/01/2022
16 Jan 1922: Dublin Castle (Caisleán Bhaile Átha Cliath) was formally handed over to Provisional Government of The Irish Free State.
The Free State delegation, led by "The Big Fella" Michael Collins, arrived at the castle about 1:45pm. Collins had been officially elected Chairman of The Provisional Government less than an hour prior. The transfer ceremony was brief..and by half two, Dublin Castle was finally in the hands of the Irish people.
Stop by the castle (Dame Street, Dublin 2) just to walk around or book a walking/audio tour.
