O'Connell Street
The famous street now lined with shops and cinemas was originally a walk outlined by Luke Gardiner in the 18C and then changed into a narrow residential square. At the end of the 19C it was named after the lawyer and politician Daniel O'Connell, whose monument can be seen at the beginning of O'Connell Bridge.
