Dublin City Council is seeking planning permission to turn the Garden of Remembrance at Parnell Square in Dublin's north inner city into a more people-friendly and accessible park. The garden, at the north end of Parnell Square, was built to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1916 Rising. It was described in a recent plan for Parnell Square as "poorly connected" to the streets and "disappointing" in its presentation. The plan, drawn up by Howley Harrington Architects for Dublin City Council, aims to revamp Parnell Square and turn it into a cultural destination by improving its layout and its pavements, roads and streets.
