The arrest of Ann Devlin (Posted by ‘Glasnevin Museum’)
Anne Devlin, housekeeper and close friend of Robert Emmet, was commemorated yesterday with the painting of a mural in the Liberties area by Dublin street artist Maser. We interviewed Maser here on the site in January, and were lucky enough to get some great shots of him painting this fine tribute to an often forgotten republican, who refused to speak or inform on others despite torture and ill-treatment.
Cheers to Maser as ever for his support of the blog and allowing us to get these snaps of a work in progress, and cheers to Luke Fallon for taking the pictures.
The finished mural can be seen over on the Liberties Festival Facebook page.

Come Here To Me! 
Great to see this heroine remembered. Only recently realised that the LUAS bridge over the canal at Suir Road is named after her too. Still not of our heroines gettin the recognition they deserve. Well done for puttin this up, wouldnt have known about it
Among the few things I really miss from Dublin are Maser’s “You’re beautiful” messages and the striped face of Bertie Ahern which I used to pass on the way to work. Great to have such a talented artist in our midst 🙂 and also a lovely way to honour and draw attention to Anne Devlin, whom I hadn’t heard of!
Wonderful!
