O'Connell Street
From the starting point our Guide will bring you on a journey towards the widest street in Ireland. You’ll hear how it got its current name after being renamed twice! O’Connell street is one of the main thoroughfares of Irish History and so has seen a lot of footfall over the centuries. Meet the Statues & Stand where the Irish War for Independence began and hear of the Irish Civil war which began immediately after independence was established. Find out what happened to Nelson’s Pillar and how all the windows of the street were broken all at once. From Dublin’s darkest days to the Stiletto in the Ghetto and beyond. O’Connell street is where it will all start for you on this tour.
An Post General Post Office
Hear of Irish Rebels at the Battle of O'Connell Street, the sailing of the Gunboat Helga up the River Liffey and the bombardment of Dublin City Centre. Find out what happened to the rebels at the end of the fighting and how their execution affected the oncoming revolution to follow. You might even get a chance to walk underneath the high ceilinged roof of the Post Office itself but if not you can see the damage to its exterior by bullets fired over 100 years ago. Get introduced to one of the main figures of Irish Mythology at the incredible statue of The Death of Cú Chulainn cast in 1935 by Oliver Sheppard
