Hi there,

I’m a new member to this site so I’m not sure of the etiquette. But I came across a thread which you were a part of in 2006 about the Greek facade Presbyterian church on Sean McDermott Street – I’m trying to find out more about the convent on that same street as I’ve noticed recently that has that little planning sign on it, like a mark of death I’m afraid! I would really like to know more about this – I would like to get inside it before its knocked down or turned inside out or whatever the developers have in store for it! could you maybe point me in the right direction? I am an artist who is very interested in urban planning, spatial relations and power relations, as well as the bureaucratic language of planning and development. Thanks! 🙂

The Irish Catholic Directory tell us that the Convent in Lower Sean McDermott Street was that of the sisters of Our Lady of Charity. They can be contacted at their Provincialate, 3 Beechlawn, High Park Grounds, Grace Park Road, Dumcondra, Dublin 9. Tel: 01 8368887 or 8368828 or e-mail olcireland@eircom.net
