Clanbrassil (from Irish Clann Bhreasail, meaning 'clan of Breasal') was the name of a Gaelic territory in what is now northern County Armagh.

It took its name from Cualu, the district in which Dublin was situated and which lay between the mouths of the Liffey and the Avoca (in County Wicklow).

The Lord Mayor, the Aldermen and Frederick Stokes, who had purchased the land and led the project, attended the opening.

[8] Lower Clanbrassil Street was known as part of Little Jerusalem because in the first half of the 20th century it was at the heart of the Jewish community in Ireland.

One by one businesses, public houses and retail outlets closed up or were demolished, and that side of the road became a wasteland.
