Revenue's renewed-liquor-licence register lists licence ref S0009 as a Publican's Licence (7-Day Ordinary) for DOYLES at 9 COLLEGE STREET and connected Fleet Street areas in DUBLIN CITY with AMATREK LIMITED as licensee.[1] NIAH records Doyle's, 9 College Street as a regional-rated corner building, built c.1820 as a former house and now in use as a public house.[2] The Irish Times reported in 2020 that the Ruby Sessions had run every Tuesday for 21 years in Doyle's pub on College Street before pausing in March 2020 during Covid-19 restrictions.[3] In September 2019, The Irish Times reported that a Dublin Bus mounted the footpath outside Doyle's after a collision while turning from D'Olier Street into College Green.[4]

What the Boards.ie trail is useful for

These cards turn the raw forum trail into practical page leads: gossip, character texture, time depth, source depth, and review warnings where the match pattern is broad.

overmatch_review

Big archive trail, needs match review

Boards.ie produces 83 readable matches for Doyles, but the name or hit pattern is broad enough that PubHub should treat this as a source-mining queue before writing stronger lore. The links still preserve useful public memory leads.
