Mountjoy Square Walking Tour

The Five Lamps Arts Festival

A great walking tour led by  John Seery around the perimeter of Mountjoy Square which has links to famous Dubliners and fascinating history

Belvedere College

Mountjoy Square is our city's only true Georgian Square, a truly fascinating location with strong links to many famous Dubliners and striking buildings that, against all odds, survived the wrecking ball. Together with historian John Seery, we're launching a new guided walking tour of the 560 metres route. John will explore some notable people and events associated with houses on Cearnóg Mhuinseo as it’s known in Irish, including Arthur Guinness, WB Yeats, and even U2! You, too, can learn all about top-secret assignations to plan the Easter Rising, early covert meetings of the Dáil, and the Oscar-winning movie filmed here. The Square itself has over 20 particular points of interest related to notable residents:Sean O’CaseySecret sittings of Dail Eireann and the CabinetArthur GuinnessWB YeatsUinseann MacEoinJohn O’LearySeveral MPs, AristocratsSetting of the movies ‘Once’, ‘Nan’And much more!Tá an stair á rugadh, arís.
