    I am unsure of that but I know a lot of games were played in the Phoenix Park, Island bridge Longmeadows, and in Crumlin. I remember them playing and like New Irelands were a Hurling club at the finish. I think there would have been a few clubs with that name considering the views and aspirations from 1884. A lot of clubs didnt last long back in the early 1900s except for parish clubs like St. Mays in Saggart, Round Towers Clondalkin, St Annes Bohernabrenna, Thomas Davis Tallaght Parnells in Coolock, Erins Isle in Finglas and these were all villages back then so the G.A.A would have been hugely important.

    On your question I will find out. I know we had a club in Rush, Emerald Isles around 1900 abd name with Ireland and patriots in them were quite common.
