Pearse Street

Pearse Street

Pearse Street (irish place name|Sráid an Phiarsaigh) is one of the longest streets in Dublin and varies in use along its length. Its western end meets College Street near Townsend Street. Trinity College, Dublin forms its southern side here, with a Garda station to the north. Further east, Tara Street joins it. Further east, there is a fire station and a hotel. The DART crosses Pearse street besides St. Mark's church, and beyond that is a former theatre where James Joyce won an award for singing. A bank and pub bracket the junction with Lombard Street, with TCD and the railway station opposite each other on Westland Row.

Further east, the street becomes residential until nearly at Ringsend, where factories are found.

Some friction has occurred between the local residents and TCD because Trinity was felt to have isolated itself from the rest of the street, making it harder to revitalise the area.

It is named after the Irish revolutionaries, Patrick Pearse and his brother William, who were born there. It was previously called "Great Brunswick Street".
