On Francis Street you can find the rarest items and unique pieces but this morning we felt sorry for This Pink Princess rocking horse which looked rather lonely and abandoned - we would remind people that if you want to discard items - there are ways to do it properly and legally -meanwhile the Pink Princess sits pretty.

1.1 Million!! Geard Dillion Painting - Lot 10 - -The Sun may be beaming down on Ireland but it was certainly beaming down on Adams Auction Room this evening as prices soared well above estimates on many Lots.
Stuart Cole's gavel fell with a sharp crack on Lot Number 10, finalizing a stunning sale that defied all expectations. The Gerard Dillion, Painting, 'Tea Party' on stage given a pre-sale estimate of €150k to 200k. The painting was expected to draw steady, polite bidding but instead, it ignited a theater of war that lasted many minutes and ended up with a loud round of applause from an audience where audible gasps could be heard as the bidding climbed higher and ended up over 7 times the lower estimate and creating a record for this artist.

974 Large Panes of Glass on the roof of The Iveagh Market !!! now thats a lot of glazing to be attended to !!

Dublin City Council - Update
The Iveagh Markets - Building Stabilisation Works Update

'Following earlier enabling works, the second and substantive phase of roof renewal works is being carried out by Kelbuild Ltd. Works began in January 2026 and are expected to take approximately two years to complete. This project forms part of the capital programme of Dublin City Council and is supported by the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund under Project Ireland 2040.
Much of the original roof structure of both the Wet and Dry market buildings remains intact, including large wrought iron and mild steel roof trusses, as well as the timber structure consisting of purlins, rafters and sarking boards. While historic Westmorland Green slate remains in some areas, roof coverings have been lost in many locations, leaving the building vulnerable to the elements.

A detailed programme of repair has been developed for all iron and steelwork. Larger trusses will remain in place and be fully stripped of lead paint, while smaller trusses may be removed for repair and reinstated. Roof coverings will be replaced with appropriate materials to provide a fully weather-tight roof. Original slate and cast iron rainwater goods will be repaired and reused where possible. New lead and copper flashings will be installed throughout. Repairs will also be carried out to brick parapets, and a temporary roof will be installed over the service block between the two market buildings, making the entire complex weather-tight.

Focus on Glazing
There are currently 581 panes of glass on the roof of the Dry Market and 393 panes on the roof of the Wet Market. These panes date from various periods, with some original rough cast wired glass still in place.

A new glazing system is required to meet modern safety standards for occupied buildings. The replacement system will reflect the original appearance when viewed from below, while all historic glass will be safely stored on site upon completion of the works.'
