"Goertz, attired in a Luftwaffe uniform, walked to Dublin and was not apprehended despite popping into a Garda barracks in Co Wicklow to ask for directions."

Célestin Lainé, who tortured and murdered Resistance fighters, used to live in Rathgar, after being granted asylum by the Irish government.

Where did he live? Harold's Cross?

I hadn't heard of him, despite him being the 'best-known Nazi in Ireland in the 1930s'

"In addition to having their own Hitler Youth wing, members of the Nazi Party in Ireland held important positions in the Irish economy, including in the ESB and the Turf Board."

Not the Turf Board as well?!
