O'Connell Street
QUIZ: How much do you know about O'Connell Street?
The one in Dublin, not the one in Birr.
TOMORROW MARKS THE 176th anniversary of Daniel O’Connell’s death.
The leader of Catholic Emancipation has ten streets named after him across the country, the most famous of course being the main thoroughfare in the capital.
