Dublin - Merrion Square
To the southwest of the National Gallery in Dublin lies Leinster Lawn, with a monument commemorating the founders of the Irish Free State (including Arthur Griffith, the first Prime Minister). This opens into elegant Merrion Square, which is surrounded on three sides by handsome Georgian houses. Among residents in the square have been Oscar Wilde's parents, Daniel O'Connell and W. B. Yeats. On the west side of the square is the Rutland Fountain (1791).
