Today, close to the Waterford Crystal factory on the banks of the River Suir this large Irish flag can be seen flying over Waterford's Mall at No. 33, the same building it was first flown from.
Meagher was a leader of the Young Irelanders and later in 1848 was arrested for sedition after the Battle of Ballingarry. Sentenced to be hung, drawn and quartered Meagher and others were instead sent to Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) but later escaped.
He eventually made it to the USA and founded the Irish Brigade in the Union Army before heading to Montana after the civil war ended in 1865.
It certainly looks like a fine building with those big windows gathering light on the north side and multiple west facing windows in full sunshine.
The 7th of March 2023 marks 175 years since the Irish flag was first flown.
