Arthur Guinness, founder of the Guinness brewery.
There are many layers to the story of the relationship between Dublin and her most successful brewery. The story of Guinness is a story of, naturally enough, brewing stout. Yet it is also a story of philanthropy, and a story of politics. At different points in the history of the company, it has been confronted by diverse opponents, including the powerful O’Connell family, with Daniel O’Connell’s son briefly going head to head with the company as a brewer himself.

Installation of Steam Engine on Lord Bandon’s Barytes Mines (Dereenlomane),1867, and local Road Damage.
