This centre of 20th century commerce is one of the most striking of Dublin's 18th century buildings. Built in 1729 to house the Irish Parliament, it became redundant when the British and Irish Parliaments were united in London, when the Irish Parliament voted itself our of existence.

It would be a shame to leave our noble city without spending a few moments in one of Europe's most unique chambers, the Irish House of Lords where the Irish Parliament once sat in this magnificent chamber with woodwork in Irish oak, you can see the 18th century tapestries, and a sparkling Irish crystal chandalier of 1233 pieces dating from 1765.
