I think O’Connell street holds different meanings to different people. Locals,Architects,tourists.We all create our own vision of its identity.although it is seen by many as a street with very little to offer at present for me it still remains the most identifyable street in Ireland.Its historic and its architecture are embedded in the minds of all who visit the street. It has a great sense of place. What I want to know is this. What if O’Connell street no longer existed if it was replaced by a cloned version of another city would that be a good thing or a bad thing.Is a streets true identity seen only through the eyes of the people who live there the tourist the buildings that surround it or all three?
