The patriotic Gleeson sisters were loyal to the IRA and their shop was burnt out during the Irish War of Independence. the shop attracted the unwelcome attention of the British forces, including the infamous Black and Tans. The latter threatened to burn the shop down unless the sisters removed their name in Irish from above the shop front. This order was resisted. However, at the last minute a neighbour, afraid for the safety of her own premises, used green paint to obscure the Irish name. The Black and Tans subsequently daubed B and T , for Black and Tans, on the shutters. The Gleeson's shop was frequented by Republicans including Thomas Ashe, Austin Stack and Éamon de Valera.
