S1592 The Old Mill

It's not old and it's not a mill; but it's on the site of an old pub and has bits of an old mill in it...

This late 90s Fitzgerald Group drinking barn was built on the site of Bridget Burkes, an old and well known drinking establishment in the area. Referencing back to the Tallaght local historian Albert Perris again, the mill fittings inside were apparently purchased from Borrisokane in Tipperary - where my mothers family come from and where they actually had a pub until the 1920s.

The pub structure is a pastiche of an actual old mill building; and there were *paper* mills along the Dodder nearby; but the entire lot is from 1998. 

Inside, it's a standard suburban Fitzgerald pub, in decent nick which suggests the rolling refurbs that the group seem to do must have rolled through semi recently.
