Returning by popular demand, this historic flat is part of the Iveagh Trust complex built by Edward Cecil Guinness, the first Earl of Iveagh to house the working poor of Dublin. Uniquely, the flat has been retained in its original condition at the expressed wish of its last tenant, Nellie Molloy. Trustees of the Iveagh Trust recognise the historic importance of the flat and continue to maintain it in its original condition as an example of early 20th century Dublin tenement living.
