A square in downtown Dublin north of River Liffey. This square was home to various important historical figures and organizations.
It is now called Parnell Square and, although most of the space is currently occupied by a hospital, it is still home to some important historical buildings - including the Writers' Museum and the Hugh Lane Gallery.
