Guided Tour

Georgian Dublin and its Characters

By Kevin Devine

Tuesday 29th April at 11:00am

Starting Point – Wolfe Tone Statue

NW Corner St. Stephens Green

Tour Duration – 90 min. approx.

This tour takes us to Merrion Square and parts of the surrounding area.  Visitors to Dublin love to see and hear a little about the history of the elegant Georgian townhouses and admire Oscar Wilde’s statue.  Both of these activities are covered on the tour but there is a lot more to see and talk about. There are connections to famous men of the past such as Daniel O’Connell, the Duke of Wellington and to more recent figures such as Charles Haughey and Dermot Morgan. Also included are some well-known women associated with Dublin including the writer and poet Jane Wilde, known as Speranza; Sybil Connolly, the woman who built a house on linen, and the woman who, almost, shot Mussolini, and plenty more.

The tour will finish at Holles Street Hospital corner.
