In previous posts I used the spelling Browne rather than Brown and at this stage I am not sure if there are\/were two different spellings. Going forward I will use Brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A path leads down from the cluster of terraced homes perched high above Mount Brown, and passes through a wrought iron archway leading out onto the main road, a well-used connection between Thomas Street and Kilmainham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This street is located near St. James\u2019 Hospital. It is now named after Eamonn Ceannt who was one of the volunteers who occupied the local workhouse which was associated with the South Dublin Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The South Dublin Union which was 50 acre site where St James Hospital now stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1916 the South Dublin Union was a complex of workhouses and hospitals for the \u2018destitute, infirmed and insane\u2019 and had over three thousand inmates. Back then the vast majority of Dublin\u2019s working class could expect to end their days destitute so it was a vital public service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
