Hi Brian, Mary Clark is the Archivist in Dublin. The address is 58 South William St. & the e-mail address is: [email protected] I am sure she would have copy of the 'Directory of Historic Dublin Guilds' .It has reference numbers in it that will lead you to the relevant information. I only have two pages: p.22 & p.30. Other pages would contain references to the many other guilds that existed. My ancestors were hosiers so my interests are in the hosiers & knitters guild as well as the tanners & weavers which are the only ones relevant to my research. Tailors' Hall was in Back Lane, which goes from the Coombe to Nicholas St. I don't know if it is still there or not but the street certainly is. The National Library web site is @ www.nli.ie. I wish you luck in your research. Regards, Roger Finlay
