To me it is just a pub quarter. If Mr. Haughey was still around, he would have kept it in the spirit he intended but, as happens so often in Ireland, it was allowed to deteriorate and become an unattractive area to visit.In their innocence, people from abroad think it is a fabulous place and come to visit it, but it was not the intention of Mr. Haughey as Taoiseach to allow it deteriorate to the state it is in now.
