Gardiner Street

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gardiner Street (Irish: Sráid Ghairdinéir) stretches from Lower Dorset Street to The Custom House and is divided into Lower, Middle and Upper sections.

Lower Gardiner street lies between Parnell Street and The Custom House. Several youth hostels are on this street. The DART line crosses near the intersection with Beresford Place behind the Custom House and this end is only a few minutes walk from Connolly station and is near the Luas red line stop at Busáras. There is, however much road traffic in this area.

Middle and Upper Gardiner street are separated by the west side of Mountjoy Square and Upper Gardiner Street is the site of Saint Francis Xavier Church.

Gardiner Street dates from 1792, though Mountjoy Square was begun in 1790 it was not finished until 1818.
