Detail InformationEdit

O’Connell Street is Dublin’s main thoroughfare. It measures 49 m (160 ft) in width at its southern end, 46 m (150 ft) at the north, and is 500 m (1650 ft) in length. Known as ‘Sackville Street’ until 1924, it was renamed in honour of Daniel O’Connell, a nationalist leader of the early nineteenth century whose statue stands at the lower end of the street, facing O’Connell Bridge.
Despite the progress made in improving the street’s architectural coherence post-1916 and 1922, poor planning controls in the 1970s and 1980s had a negative impact on the vitality and presentation of O’Connell Street. Like much of Dublin of that time, property speculators and developers were permitted to construct on the thoroughfare what were widely accepted to be inappropriately designed buildings, often entailing the demolition of historic properties, in spite of its Conservation Area status.
Dubliners, who are famous for giving blunt nicknames to monuments, used to nickname the street ‘the street of the Three Adulterers’ because of the Victorian allegations of adultery made against the three principal figures on the street commemorated by statues; Parnell, Nelson and O’Connell.
