The long promised refurbishment of Francis Street in The Liberties was due to begin in July 2021 but, I assume because of Covid-19 restrictions, progress appears to be rather slow.
FATHER COLLINS PARK CLONGRIFFIN
I visited on a very wet windy day, in January 2016, but the windmills were locked-down ... maybe the weather was unsuitable. Back then I used a Sony A7RII and a Sony FE35 35mm F1.4 lens. The name Clongriffin is a modern invention, a concatenation of "clon", the anglicisation of cluain (the Irish language word for meadow), and griffin. A griffin, griffon, or gryphon (the Irish of which is ghrífín) is a mythical beast and may be an element in the name of the adjacent district, Balgriffin.
