116  BRIT AIN AND IRELAND

Street by Street: Southeast Dublin

The area around College Green, dominated by the facades
of the Bank of Ireland and Trinity College, is very much the
heart of Dublin. The alleys and malls cutting across busy
pedestrianized Grafton Street boast many of Dublin’s better C O L L E G E G R E E N
stores, hotels, and restaurants. Just off Kildare Street are the Dublin
Irish Parliament, the National Library, and the National Castle
Museum of Ireland – Archaeology. To escape the city bustle,
many head for sanctuary on St. Stephen’s Green.
