 Merrion Square, Dublin
Merrion Square itself lies to the south east of Dublin city centre, at the back of Trinity College and Leinster House, the home of the Irish parliament.
Merrion Square was laid out between 1762 and 1764 and three sides of it remain the finest example of Georgian Architecture under Dublin's Wide Streets Commission established in 1787, the fourth side being occupied by Leinster House.
The Merrion Hotel across from Government Buildings in Merrion Street is believed by many to be the best 5 star hotel in Dublin, while cheap accommodation may be found in the Schoolhouse Hotel or the Mespil Hotel, both on the canal.

 Guidescape Dublin - Feature
Merrion Square is one of the prettiest of Dublin’s squares, with its ever-changing flower displays in the park known as Archbishop Ryan Park.
Work on the square began in 1762, and since then a number of famous personalities have lived in the square at some point in their lives, including WB Yeats, Daniel O’Connell, nobel prize winner Erwin Schrodinger and the parents of Oscar Wilde.
The park in the square is not open to the public, because it is the last remaining square where keys to the park gates are given only to residents of the square.

 Merrion Street - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Merrion Street is a major Georgian street on the southside of Dublin which runs along one side of Merrion Square.
The garden entrance of Leinster House is located on the street, as is Irish Government Buildings, formerly the Royal College of Science for Ireland.
The term Merrion Street is often used as shorthand for Irish government in the same way as Whitehall or Downing Street is used to refer to the British government.

 Parishes of Donnybrook,
Besides the Castle of Merrion he had a house in Dublin, but he died in the former place, and desired to be buried in the parish church of Donnybrook, directing that in the Chapel there belonging to his family a tomb or monument should be erected to their memory.
Merrion Castle, though much injured by the military occupation, still remained a substantial dwelling; and after additions and improvements had been effected by the Earl of Tyrconnel, it was assessed as a house containing sixteen hearths-a number which shows it to have been one of the largest dwellings in the County Dublin.
The lands of Simmonscourt, as originally constituted in the thirteenth century, divided the lands of Merrion from those of Donnybrook and Baggotrath, and were described as a carucate of land in Donnybrook near the highway from Dublin to Thorncastle, extending from the Dodder Bridge to the meadow of Merrion.

An exemplar, Merrion Square in the heart of Dublin is one possibly of the most literary and artistic addresses in the world.
Dublin owes many of her great civic buildings to this era, and most of the imposing rosy brick streets and grand squares for which the city is famous were built at this time.
As noted, historic Merrion Square (oddly enough, owned by the Archbishop of Dublin, its greensward closed to the public) is undergoing a spectacular renaissance albeit on a microcosmic scale.
