sometimes put down as No. 14 and sometimes No. 16, where they 

 sold lustres and all kinds of fancy glass ; and in 1821 they adver- 

 tised the sale of china as well, having been appointed agents in Cork 

 for Mason's ironstone china, and Grainger & Lee's Worcester china. 



In 1824 the Waterloo Glass Company opened a ware-house 

 at 48 Lower Sackville Street, Dublin, for the sale of their glass, 

 and stated that owing to the amount of labour and machinery at 

 the glass-house they could execute orders quicker than any other 

 firm. 



In the following year Geoffrey O'Connell became partner with 

 Foley, and in 1829 they stated that they had reduced the price o 

 glass 20 per cent., and by a recent improvement in the process 

 of annealing they were enabled to warrant their glass hot-water 

 proof. The firm of Foley and O'Connell carried on the business 

 until 1830 when Daniel Foley retired, and the whole stock of glass

 bowls, dessert services complete, water jugs, crofts, tumblers, 

 rummers, butter coolers, pickles, chimney lustres, chandeliers, 

 ceiling lustres, etc. 



In October, 1833, O'Connell states that he is retiring from

 liqueur glasses ; claret and water jugs ; pickles, celery and jelly 

 glasses ; dessert services ; toilet ornaments ; salad bowls ; sugar 

 bowls; rummers, etc.; also china, earthernware and plated goods. 

 The sale of this glass was continued until December of the same 

 year. O'Connell appears to have ceased work for a short time, but 

 in October, 1834, he announces that he has recommenced glass 

 making and will be supplied with cut and plain glass of the best 

 quality. The warehouse and stores in Hanover Street are, at the 

 same time, advertised to be let. 



In 1835 O'Connell became bankrupt owing to the heavy 

 excise duties on glass, and in June of that year it was announced 

 that an auction of cut and plain glass was to take place at the
