The
Temple Bar area is one of the oldest of Dublin, as well as being one of
the most popular. Who would believe that it was once a ruined and
nearly abandoned area? When it was decided to convert it into a central
depot for city buses, people (among which celebrities such as U2)
fought for the abandon of the project and initiated the revival of
Temple Bar. You will find along the narrow cobbled streets and lanes a
number of galleries, trendy and second hand |
shops, and mostly pubs and
restaurants. Leaving Temple Bar towards the Liffey and the Northside,
walking through Merchant’s Arch, you will arrive at Ha’penny Bridge (a
ha’penny used to be the toll requested to cross the river).
You will find more information about the area at Temple Bar Properties
(18 Eustace Street, 677 2255, open 9am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday, or
visit www.templebar.ie) |
