Dame Street

Dame Street (Irish: Sráid an Dáma) is a large thoroughfare in Dublin, Ireland. The street is the location of many banks such as AIB, Ulster Bank and the Central Bank of Ireland. It is close to Ireland's oldest university, Trinity College, Dublin, founded in 1592, the entrance to which is a popular meeting spot.

During the day, the street is very busy, due to its prime location in the city centre. It is a five-minute walk to the shopping area of Grafton street and ten minutes from O'Connell Street, Dublin's two most famous thoroughfares. At the other Daly's Club was founded in the 1750s at numbers 1-3 Dame Street and remained there until 1791, when it moved to College Green.^[1]
