Dublin Weavers Seek Aid for Trade Revival in 1770
In Dublin on January 7 1770 a committee of the Corporation of Weavers urged Lord Lieutenant Towshend to back a general association to revive decaying manufacturing. They sought church sermons for fund raising and appealed to Archbishop and parish ministers for relief funds for distressed artificers. The group also asked support from the Lord Mayor Sheriff and city theatres to fund sustenance and a rocca for indignant workers.
