Sinn Féin Bank at No. 6 Harcourt Street, Dublin following shelling.
Cardinal John Henry Newman lived at this address, and 6 Harcourt Street was one of three buildings housing the Irish Catholic University (founded by Newman on 3 November 1854) that went on to be University College Dublin.
As Free State Aire Airgid (Minister for Finance), Michael Collins was based in this building and there is still a surviving escape tunnel under no. 6.
Questions were asked of the Minister for Finance in the Dáil in May & December 1931 as to when depositors of the Sinn Féin People's Bank, then in liquidation, would be paid.
The Australian newspaper, The Marlborough Express, reported the following on 1 December 1920:
"The authorities raided the Sinn Fein bank at Dublin. They tore up the floors and discovered a secret underground safe, which was not revealed on the occasion of the previous search. They blew open the safe, which contained £500 and important documents associated with the name of Michael Collins, chief of staff of the Irish Republic."
No. 6 Harcourt Street is now the head office of Conradh na Gaeilge.
