From the Wiki: During the Irish War of Independence in 1921, the Irish Republican Army burnt down the Custom House, to disrupt British rule in Ireland by destroying tax records. The original interior was completely destroyed in the fire and the central dome collapsed. A large quantity of irreplaceable historical records were also destroyed in the fire. Despite achieving its objectives, the attack on the Custom House was a setback for the IRA as a large number of Volunteers were captured either during the attack or when falling back.

Legend has it that members of the fire brigade were intentionally slow to fight the fire, which lasted five days, and who may have actually consulted with the IRA on how best to burn the building! The Custom House was restored in 1929.
