It gives you a proper understanding of why Dublin & it’s people stands as it does today. It is where Georgian Dublin, in 1700’s, under British rule, began by Developer & socialite Luke Gardiner. Leading to the development of Dublins Georgian Squares & other architecture you see today. It also reflects Irelands turbulent social history it wonderfully leads into The Kings Inn by the architect James Gandon overlooking Dublins corporation flats & the now entrance to TUD Campus once the renowned “ Gorman” that haunted many women, men & families in times gone ✖️
