Kavanagh	William& Son		12 Dame St
Keegan	L		3 Kings Inns Quay

The Rising of 1916 saw almost the total demise of the guntrade within Dublin.
None of the above companies were listed as trading in the 1917 directory. If they were in operation they were under the control of the authorities and not in a position to advertise.
Between 1918 and 1923 only one company was listed.This being William Kavanagh & Son of 12 Dame Street.

Kavanagh's finally closed their doors in 1923 leaving the market open for Larry Keegan, who appears in the 1925 directory.

We are always pleased to receive any information related to any of the above listed gunmakers.
