Name a couple pls. IMO, especially from the Parnell monument to where it heads towards Capel St. the place is a f@@@ing planning disaster zone - no head nor tail to it. The Rotunda was probably the only other one - but as I'm not likely to be giving birth between now and, let's say, dying - I won't manage to benefit from the place. You're right about the spurious claim - they'll have to replace that sign with 'The most re-mortgaged pub in Dublin'. Maybe the year they used (1745 - Culloden) was to boost sales of Scotch. As to preservation orders, I don't know if there is one - only pub I'm aware has one is Mulligan's on Poolbeg St. - though Ryan's of Parkgate St. may have one too. Dirty,

A bit harsh. Still one or two choice spots on Parnell St. Personally, it always annoyed me that this pub had a sign saying "oldest pub in Dublin", which it so obviously was not. Surely there would be a preservation order on it. “And farewell to Parnell Street’s last redeeming feature.” A bit harsh. Still one or two choice spots on Parnell St.
