Plans are under way to erect a plaque in honour of an Anglo-Irish woman who tried to assassinate Italian Fascist leader Benito Mussolini.
British property company Westhill has agreed to work with Dublin City Council to facilitate the installation of the plaque at 12 Merrion Square, which was the childhood home of Violet Gibson.
The offer was made in a letter to Independent Councillor Mannix Flynn who proposed the idea in a motion that was passed unanimously by the council's Commemorative and Naming Committee.
Ms Gibson attempted to shoot the Italian leader in 1926.
Mussolini was reported to have moved his head at the last minute and the first shot grazed his nose while the second misfired.
Police had to save Ms Gibson from being killed by the crowd and she was deported to England.
The then 50-year-old was then detained in a psychiatric hospital for the rest of her life despite repeated pleas for her release.
She died in 1956 and is buried in England.
Councillor Mannix Flynn's motion read: "It is now time to bring Violet Gibson into the public eye's and give her a rightful place in the history of Irish women and in the history of the Irish nation and its people".
