It is safe to say that dark clouds appeared over the Custom House many times over its 230 year history. These horrible clouds floated over the desks of the decision makers in this very house, bringing anguish to Ireland’s people. They also brought their misery to the environs around the building on the quays, the back streets and the bridges.
This tour deals with sensitive topics and issues that might be upsetting to some. Parental discretion is advised for children under the age 15.
