The motivation for the Club was to heal the divisions created by the Irish Civil War.
The Association of the Old Dublin Brigade, Óglaigh na hÉireann was also open to the surviving members of the War of Independence.
The Club incorporated the Association in the early 1980s as their membership declined.
