Shamrock Rovers F.C. was founded in Ringsend in 1901.

A black and white photograph of inside George's Arcade showing shop fronts and two cars parked inside.

The George’s Street Arcade was the first purpose-built shopping centre in Dublin. The current building dates from 1894, after the original was destroyed in a fire. The market was initially unpopular with Dubliners, as neither local architects nor builders were employed, and no Dublin dignitaries were invited to the opening ceremony. A wave of public sympathy for the stallholders followed the fire, and part of the rebuilding costs were paid for by public subscription. Today, fortune tellers, record shops and body piercing studios have taken the place of electrical factors and paper shops. (It remains home to one of Dublin’s great literary retreats, Stokes Books.)
