Hi
My name is Dave Keegan and this is a picture of my family home in Dublin. I lived at this house from the time of my birth in 1964 until I met my wife Suzanne in 1996. My mother and father still live there. As a child I was very aware of the history of the house, but I always slept soundly. You may be interested to know that during the Russian Reveloution the Russian Crown Jewels were hidden behind a loose brick in the kitchen fire place. These Jewels were handed back to the Russian state in 1923 by the Eamon DeValera one of the founding fathers of the present day Republic of Ireland.
