As a matter of interest Palace Street is the shortest street in Dublin.
I took a short cut from Dublin Castle, Palace Street, to South Great George’s and I also checked to see if there was any new examples of street art. There was one that I have already published photographs of but there was a new one relating to the protests in Iran.
