In the heart of Dublin’s bustling city centre lies St Stephen’s Green, a place of calm amid chaos, a patch of peace in a fast-moving metropolis. Known simply as “the Green” to Dubliners, it’s where students loll on sunny afternoons, office workers grab quiet lunch breaks, and tourists pause for breath amid their sightseeing. But behind its ornamental lake, elegant railings and leafy paths lies a fascinating and, at times, fiery history stretching back nearly a millennium. Diarmuid Gavin brings us the story of St Stephen's Green.
