Dame Street

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dame Street is a large thoroughfare in Dublin, Ireland. The street is the location of many banks such as AIB, Ulster Bank and the Central Bank of Ireland. It is also the location of Ireland's oldest university, Trinity College Dublin, the entrance to which is a popular meeting spot. During the day, the street is very busy, due to its prime location in the city centre. It is a 5 minute walk to Grafton street and 10 minutes from O'Connell Street, Dublin's two most famous thoroughfares. At the other end of the street is the location of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin's oldest medieval cathedral, built in 1038.
