O'Connell Street is at the heart of Dublin. It has been through
name changes and revolutions, destruction and rebuilding and
remained at the heart of the story of Ireland for centuries. Nicola
Pierce explores the people, the history, the buildings and the
stories behind the main street in our capital city. Packed with
stories of the people connected to the streets, from the subjects
of the statues, to the sculptors that created them, from those who
owned and developed the street since the days of St Mary's Abbey in
1147, to those who worked and lived there through the centuries and
all the drama and scandals that went on both on the street and
behind closed doors. O'Connell Street will also feature more
personal, anecdotal stories of the cinemas, meeting under Clery's
clock, buying engagement rings at The Happy Ring House, witnessing
motorcades such as the Apollo XIII coming down the street, the
heyday of film stars staying at the Gresham, and scandals and
murders on the street.
