The Bird Flanagan

26 October 2026 by in Leicester House and Crumlin Hospital for Sick Children

Probably the most famous of the farmers around Drimnagh were the Flanagan’s.  The “Bird Flanagan”, as he was called, lived in a house situated at the top of Errigal Rd.  It is now demolished for some years and “Spheres” sports club (now a children’s research centre) build in its place.  The ‘Bird’s’ brother lived up the road from him.  His house was demolished and Super Quinn Supermarket was built on the site. Most of present day Drimnagh was built on the ‘Bird’s’ land.
