Why St Stephen's Green matters
St Stephen's Green is Dublin's living room. On a sunny lunch hour the grass fills with office workers, students and families feeding the ducks. The park was laid out as a public garden in the Victorian era, with a lake, bridges and flower beds. It is a pleasant place to rest between museums.
