	Stoneybatter
		The executed leaders of the 1916 rising are buried in Arbourhill graveyard, part of the grounds of Collins barracks--the oldest occupied military barracks in the world, just off Manor street.
		With the recent housing developments and especially the near-completed Smithfield development right in the heart of the area, Stoneybatter has seen many changes in recent times.
		With the influx of thousands of new residents to the area it has brought welcome relief to hard-pressed local traders who were suffering in the face of the competition of Supermarkets and huge shopping developments which seem to spring up every few months on the outskirts of the City.

	The Session: Shop - Product info
		Kevin Kearns' book on the inner Dublin area known as Stoneybatter has ambitions to be a work of serious social history, documenting a district that has retained a sense of organic community despite the massive, and frequently utterly insensitive, work of private developers and city planners.
		The fact is, the shift in demographics and the death of the largely elderly population of Stoneybatter meant that somebody else had to move in.
		Stoneybatter has a future still, arguably at the cost of its period quaintness, but there is no lack of a sense of community just cause most people here can no longer remember when milk was delivered by horse cart.

	[ainriail] Bin Tax: Dail picket and Stoneybatter blockade (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Stoneybatter, Finglas and East Wall all blockaded trucks for periods of time this morning.
		This is an account of the Stoneybatter blockade which I took part in.
		Blockading with the North Circular behind, see pics on indymedia at http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=61315andresults_offset=20 Wednesday night saw another public meeting held by the Stoneybatter campaign against the bin tax, the second in a week, attended by about 45 people.

		When we lived in Stoneybatter, Dublin 7, which is not so long ago, the local sport was smashing the windscreen of our car (2 direct hits) and kicking the gutters of the house of our septuagenarian neighbour.
		Stoneybatter is now home to a loose collection of arts journalists, bijou novelists, and feng shui consultants, and we bet our elderly neighbours, who always played pétanque in the park, now sip pastis whilst they play, muttering "Alors"!
		Stoneybatter now has cafés featuring live jazz (in our day the cafés featured chips, and it was almost certainly old Stoney that put the Batter in Batter Burger) and ethnic restaurants.

	Bin Tax - what has been going on (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		In Stoneybatter and Cabra, where a number of WSM members are active, there have been a mixture of meetings, protests and blockades.
		In Stoneybatter we had two short blockades of bin trucks in the estates, one on Swords Street, the other in Drumalee.
		It became apparent that local blockades in isolation from other areas were capable of only putting limited pressure on the Corporation so the mood in Stoneybatter swung towards arguing for co-ordinated city-wide disruption in order to put a lot of pressure on the state.

	Successful first bin truck blockade in Stoneybatter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		A couple of others like myself are activists in neighbouring campaigns, Stoneybatter residents had helped us out last week so we were happy to help them out.
		Blockades similar to the Stoneybatter one have now taken place in most city areas (another was happening in Ringsend at the same time).
		What is needed is for all areas to carry out at least solidarity blockades next week and for a co-ordinated all out blockade in every area to start as soon as we feel we can carry it off.

	Billy in the Bowl
		There can be no doubt that the present Stoneybatter formed a portion of this ancient road-a statement that is borne out by two independent circumstances.
		In days gone by Stoneybatter, on Oxmantown Green, was the place where the May-day Festival was annually kept.
		Cabragh Lane, or, as we know it, Prussia Street, to which latter name it was changed in 1765, in honour of Frederick, King of Prussia, led to Cabragh, the ancient seat of the Segrave family, which place was afterwards inhabited by Lord Norbury, of notorious memory.

	Justin Mason: Happy Software Prole » Billy in the Bowl
		Billy was a legless beggar in the alleys of Stoneybatter and Grangegorman (where I now live) during the 18th century, who discovered a new, but not entirely legal, way to make money.
		The cunning young beggar would wait at a convenient spot on one of the many lonely roads or lanes which were a feature of eighteenth century Grangegorman and Stoneybatter, until a servant girl or an old lady would come along.
		On one occasion ” Billy in “the Bowl ” tried his tactics on a sturdy servant girl who put up such a vigorous resistance that he was forced to strangle her.

	Blather Archives: straddling two worlds (october 23rd 1998)
		Stoneybatter, Dublin of the 16th century played host to Scaldbrother, a rogue who 'roamed the environs accosting people, snatching their possessions, and fleeing with his booty to a vast maze of subterranean passages extending from Smithfield to Arbour Hill [from where Blather is published].
		Not only was he a cunning thief, but "the varlet was so swift of foot as has oftsoon outrun the swiftest and lustiest young men of Osmanstown" in the chase'.
		Tim Brigham, editor of The Devil's Advocate, was in touch during the week, to point out an omission in last week's issue...'that the (now yearly) virgin Mary shindig in Conyers [Georgia], goes down on the anniversary of the Fatima incident - October 13th...

	Successful first bin truck blockade in Stoneybatter - Indymedia Ireland
		At a well attended and angry meeting on Wednesday night, the Stoneybatter campaign against the bin tax decided to join in the series of blockades that have been happening all over Dublin since the council started implementing non-collection.
		This blockade in Stoneybatter was intended to show the council that we will stand up to them and we won't allow them to get away with their "salami tactics".
		The bin truck was blockaded as part of a solidarity action with local residents in other parts of the city, including Rathmines in the Dublin City Council area, where services were disrupted again this morning, and in parts of Fingal.
