College Green is a three sided plaza in the centre of Dublin. On its northern side is the Bank of Ireland, which until 1800 was Ireland’s Parliament House. To its east stands Trinity College. To its south stands a series of 19th century buildings that were mostly banks. It has been used as an assembly point for political rallies, speeches and concerts including speeches by American Presidents Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama.
Liberty you Hall was designed by Desmond Rea O’Kelly and completed in 1965. For a time it was the tallest building in Ireland. Architecturally it falls into the International Style. It has fallen into disrepair in recent years but remains an iconic part of our architectural heritage. The site on which it was built has a rich and varied history.
