Location: Dublin City.
Subject: Single page from the diary of Michael Healy, stained glass artist and founder of An Túr Gloine. Entry begins with Healy writing about how the soldiers are still surrounding the area so no none can get passed and there is no use in going out. He includes how he painted in a sketch of ‘O’D’ and a statuette by ‘Power’ (Albert) in the background of Ned Byrne’s portrait. Healy describes how he had just finished dinner and was smoking a cigarette when soldiers with bayonets marched into his room and searched it for arms. He recalls that they were “nice enough” and how they searched every house on the street. Healy recounts how two of the soldiers got onto the roof searching for snipers and how they took a bayonet from Tracy’s house (A Picture Restorer). Healy finishes the entry by writing that he had no visitors that evening and that the soldiers remained at the end of the street.
People of Note: Ned Byrne, Tracy.
