The ICA was set up by James Connolly during the Great Dublin Lockout of 1913 and later fought in the Easter Rising of Easter 1916. Michael Mallin, after which the nearby housing estate was named, was a former soldier in the 21st Royal Scots Fusiliers who became 2i/c of the Irish Citizens Army. For his role in the Easter Rising he was executed by firing squad on 8 May 1916
