I visited Merrion Sqare during my lunch break this week. I enjoy the signs outside the park for some reason...can't explain why but I just always find civil service "rules" amusing in a strange way.
It's an interesting park with some quirky sights. First up is the underground air raid shelter built for the second world war - which apparently could hold up to 1100 people. I walked around the mound which it is built under but I couldn't see any door/entryway in. Wonder where the entrance is?
The park also contains a collection of different Dublin lamps - from a time when gas lamps used to light up Dublin streets.
This ball shaped lamp is unusual - I have never seen this kind before in Dublin.
This chair is in memory of the late great Dermot Morgan (best remembered for Scratch Saturday/Fr Trendy/Fr Ted). I am not sure if it was errected by his family or by Dublin City Council.
RIP Dermot Morgan - taken before your time.
Finally as a lovely finish to my lunchtime tour I found a beautiful holly tree!
It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!
