Cathal Brugha Street

The street runs eastwards from near the Parnell Square end of Upper O'Connell Street, crossing Marlborough Street and changing name to Seán Macdermott Street Upper at the junction with Cumberland Street North and Champions Avenue.
The original Cathal Brugha Street was the section west of Marlborough Street, which was created as part of the reconstruction of Dublin after the damage of the Irish revolutionary period of 1916–23, which destroyed much of the vicinity. The pre-existing Findlater Place ran at an angle between O'Connell Street and Marlborough Street, to the north of St. Thomas's Church of Ireland church, which fronted on Marlborough Street and was destroyed in the revolution. The new street was at right angles to O'Connell Street and Marlborough Street, intersecting the north-east stub of Findlater Place, and running south of the rebuilt St. Thomas Church to align with Gloucester Street .
