The Parnell Square

Sunday, 31st July 2011

We decided to stay put on the bus instead of making any more stops as pakdokter wanted to go to the Writers' Musuem and the James Joyce Centre located at the Parnell's Square in the city. Parnell Square is at the northern end of the O'Connell Street but unfortunately, by the time we made it there, it was just past 430pm and the museums have closed their doors.

Located at the Parnell's Square is also the 'Garden of Remebrance' - created to commemorate the death of the Irish Volunteers who died in the 1916 Uprising.

Toddy's Bar is actually on O'Connell Street..

must be one of the Irish revolutioneries....

that circular-roofed building at the top end of O'Connell Street

leading to the Parnell Square was once a maternity hospital,

today it is a theatre?......

the 'Garden of Remembrance'

for those who died in the Irish Revolution..

the Dublin Writers Museum had collection featuring

lives and works of Swift, Sheridan, Shaw, Wilde, Yeats,

Joyce and Beckett.....

the Dublin City Gallery features

Impressionist Art of Renoir, Degas, Monet and

Irish 20th century artists...
