Tara Street

Tara Street (Irish: Sráid na Teamhrach)[1] is a major traffic route in Dublin, Ireland, partly due to the current one-way traffic flow in the city centre.

[2] It links Pearse Street to the northern side of the city via Butt Bridge - traffic flows to the north.

The street was named after Tara, the home of the ancient high kings of Ireland.

[3] It was the home of Tara Street Baths, opened in 1886, and demolished in 1986 when it was replaced by the Countess Markievicz Pool.

[6] During the Easter Rising, British artillery shelled Liberty Hall from Tara Street, though the road surface made it difficult.
