Pearse Street

Pearse Street (Irish: Sráid an Phiarsaigh) is one of the longest streets in Dublin and varies in use along its length. It is named after the Irish revolutionaries, Patrick Pearse and his brother William, who were born there. It was previously called Great Brunswick Street.

Its western end meets College Street near Townsend Street. Here, on the northern side, there is a Garda station, followed by the headquarters of the Dublin Fire Brigade with the Central Fire Station. The Trinity City Hotel is over and beside the fire station. Office buildings are on the southern side of the street, followed by Trinity College, Dublin. These offices of the Department of Social Protection are on the site of the Queen's Theatre, Dublin.

The DART crosses Pearse street beside St. Mark's church, and east of that is the former Antient Concert Rooms where W. B. Yeats’ play The Countess Cathleen was first performed 8 May 1899 and James Joyce won an award for singing at the Feis Ceoil 16 May 1904. No. 43 is the former Erasmus Smith Commercial and Civil Service School, a bank and pub bracket the junction with Lombard Street, with Trinity College and the railway station and Goldsmith Hall opposite each other on Westland Row.
