NOTES: A colourful melamine plate depicting the General Post Office and O’Connell Street in Dublin. If you look hard enough you can still see the bullet holes* from the Easter Rising of 1916 where the Irish republicans fought to end British rule in Ireland and establish an independent Irish Republic. “The building was destroyed by fire in the course of the rebellion, save for the granite facade, and not rebuilt until 1929, by the Irish Free State government”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Post_Office,_Dublin
